The White-house announced a high-stakes meeting between Joe Biden and Donald Trump scheduled for mid-week (missing comma here) which marks their first face-to-face talk since the recent election
In a brief statement Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed: the two leaders will gather in the Oval Office; the meeting was arranged at Bidens request. The president-elect secured his win against Vice-President Kamala Harris just days ago making this encounter particularly significant
The road to this point started in mid-summer when Biden made an un-expected choice to end his re-election campaign – a decision that came right after a not-so-great debate showing against Trump. The former president will start his new term on jan 20th (and its worth noting that the transition process has already begun)
