United States President Joe Biden received his successor Donald Trump at the White House ahead of the latter’s inauguration on Monday, January 20, 2025.
Biden, alongside First Lady Jill Biden, welcomed Trump and his wife, Melania, at the White House and exchanged brief remarks before they walked inside the building.
Trump will be sworn in for his second term as U.S. president just before 12:00 EST (17:00 GMT) at the US Capitol, where crowds of supporters are gathering.
The ceremony is being held indoors, at the Capitol Rotunda, due to freezing temperatures in Washington D.C.
