President-Elect Donald Trump met President Biden in the Oval Office, marking a symbolic moment of unity in U.S. politics.

The two leaders shook hands, emphasizing a smooth transfer of power—a stark contrast to the tension following Biden’s 2020 win.

Biden warmly welcomed Trump, saying he looks forward to a seamless transition, and Trump expressed his appreciation for Biden’s efforts.

President Biden: “Congratulations. Looking forward to a smooth transition…Welcome back.”

The meeting comes five months after Biden’s debate setback, leading to his withdrawal from re-election, paving the way for Kamala Harris’ candidacy.

Trump’s triumphant return to Washington sees a GOP rallying behind him as he prepares to implement his agenda with a dedicated team.

Arriving at Joint Base Andrews, Trump was joined by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will spearhead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to streamline federal operations.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
