President-Elect Donald Trump And Barack Obama Set To Meet At White House

President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with President Barack Obama at the moment, at the White House for transition talks.

But it isn’t his first time at the White House. He had met President Reagan there at a reception in 1987.

The Republican president-elect is traveling with Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who will meet Vice President Joe Biden.

The Trump-Obama meeting was unexpected just days ago.

It would be recalled, during the campaign, Mr Obama had called Mr Trump “uniquely unqualified”, but now has has said he is “rooting” for him after his shock defeat of Hillary Clinton.

The Republican president-elect had also in reprisal questioned Mr Obama’s US citizenship and vowed to dismantle his legacy.

But in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s results, Trump and Obama have both sought to set politics aside ahead of the transition.
