Kathmandu: Joe Biden will meet with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House.

Biden will meet President-elect Trump on Wednesday after the US leader pledged an orderly transfer of power back to the Republican he beat in elections just four years ago. Trump who never conceded his 2020 loss sealed a remarkable comeback to the presidency in the November 5 vote, cementing what is set to be more than a decade of US politics dominated by his hardline right-wing stance.

White House said Biden’s meeting with Trump will take place in the Oval Office. Biden (81-year-old president), who dropped out of the White House race in July over concerns about his age, health and mental acuity, called Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on the election win.
