Alberto News – Caracas, 13 de noviembre de 2024-. El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, inició este miércoles la reunión en el Despacho Oval de la Casa Blanca con el próximo mandatario, Donald Trump, felicitándolo por su victoria en las elecciones del 5 de noviembre.
Cuando la prensa entró en el Despacho Oval, ambos líderes estaban sentados uno junto al otro en sillones, con el fuego de la chimenea crepitando de fondo.
Trump sonrió a la prensa, y a continuación, Biden, quien actuaba como anfitrión, le dio la bienvenida a la Casa Blanca y le extendió la mano para estrechársela con efusividad.
«Bueno, señor presidente electo, Donald, felicidades… espero que tengamos una transición tranquila. Bienvenido», dijo Biden, mientras Trump lo escuchaba con las manos entrelazadas e inclinado hacia adelante en el sillón.
ÚLTIMA HORA | Trump y Biden se reúnen en la Casa Blanca: dan inicio a la transición en Estados Unidos.
Biden invitó a Trump a la Casa Blanca en una llamada telefónica el 6 de noviembre, al día siguiente de las elecciones, y el líder republicano aceptó de inmediato. La Casa Blanca anunció el sábado que la reunión sería este miércoles.
Este tipo de encuentros suele ser una tradición en la política estadounidense para garantizar una transferencia de poderes ordenada.
Sin embargo, en 2020 Trump no invitó a Biden a la Casa Blanca tras su victoria electoral.
De hecho, el republicano difundió teorías infundadas sobre fraude y ni siquiera asistió a la investidura de su sucesor, convirtiéndose en el primer presidente de EE.UU. en no hacerlo desde 1869. EFE
