Newly elected US President Donald Trump met with his predecessor Joe Biden at the White House before his inauguration on January 20. There was a so-called tea ceremony.

American media reported this. It is noted that the ceremony was also attended by first ladies Melania Trump and Jill Biden. In addition, the so-called “tea party” was attended by former US Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Douglas Emhoff, as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and his wife Usha Vance.

After the ceremony, Joe Biden and Donald Trump traveled in the same limousine to the Capitol, where the new president took the oath of office and assumed official powers..

It should be added that it is customary for the President-elect to accompany the President-elect to the US Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony..

However, in 2021, Trump snubbed Biden and did not continue the tradition of inviting the president-elect to the White House.

Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky congratulated Donald Trump on taking office as President of the United States and wished him success.

Recall that the new US President Donald Trump, on his first day in office, announced strict restrictions on immigration and the deportation of migrants. He also announced a state of emergency on the border with Mexico..
