When President Joe Biden’s aides were planning his visit to South America this week for a pair of leaders’ summits, two vastly different scenarios were in play.

Both Trump and Biden have thrown sharp verbal barbs at each other over the years. But it was soft voices and smiles in the Oval Office.

At a campaign event in Georgia in July 2024, Jill Biden referred to Trump as "evil" as she spoke about comments the president-elect is said to have made about the military in private. "Does Donald Trump know anything about military? N o, he disparages those who sacrifice for our country," Biden said.

Biden’s White House welcome to Trump versus Trump’s snub of Biden four years ago is matched by lack of reciprocity in the economy each gifted the other. Then-President-elect Biden inherited an economy from President Trump in shambles with the greatest economic collapse in the post-World War II era due to COVID-19.

President Biden and former President Trump will appear together at the White House on Wednesday around 11:00 am. Trump met earlier this morning with House Republicans as Senate Republicans gathered to select the next Majority Leader.

First Lady Jill Biden is still extending her hand to former first lady Melania Trump, despite Melania skipping out on Wednesday’s meeting with the current First Lady and President.

Firms in legal tangles with regulatory agencies are cautiously optimistic that Trump's admin picks will be more free-market friendly.

President Biden is beginning a six-day visit to Peru and Brazil for the final major international summits of his presidency.

“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.”

Biden's administration has warned the President-elect that Tehran and its proxies pose a continuing daily risk to Americans.
