President-elect Donald Trump met with President Joe Biden as the Republican returned to the White House on Wednesday for the first time since his chaotic departure from office four years ago.
The two leaders sought to strike a gracious note in public as they undertook a ritual of the peaceful transition of power in the US that Trump didn’t offer to Biden in 2020. The lead up to the sit-down was drenched with drama, pulling together two men, who has each been forced to turn over the White House to their rival, and coming after a tumultuous presidential campaign that laid bare the nation’s stark divisions.
