WASHINGTON/REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware (Reuters) – US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet on Wednesday at the White House at Biden’s invitation, a White House spokesman said on Saturday.
Trump will take office on Jan. 20 after defeating incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
“At the invitation of President Biden, President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
Biden, a Democrat, initially sought re-election but dropped out of the race in July after a nasty debate against Republican Trump.
“I’ll see him on Wednesday,” Biden told reporters on Saturday, when asked if Trump was a threat to democracy.
Biden spoke after leaving a church service in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he had been visiting for the weekend. The president did not respond to questions about what he would say to Trump.
