President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the White House announced on Saturday.
The meeting will be held at 11 a.m. local time, according to the statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Mr. Biden extended the invitation for the meeting.
Such a meeting is customary between the outgoing president and the incoming president and is meant partly to mark the start of a peaceful transfer of power under America’s democracy. However, Mr. Trump did not host Mr. Biden for a sit-down after the 2020 election, when Mr. Trump lost his reelection bid.
