President-elect Donald Trump’s team is in discussions about when he should go to Washington, DC to meet with President Joe Biden, a source familiar has told CNN.

They are hoping to go on the earlier side, with the source saying it could even be as early as next week.

A White House official said earlier today that Biden spoke with Trump and invited him to the White House, expressing his “commitment to ensuring a smooth transition”.

Trump said he “very much appreciated” the call from Biden and said he planned to meet the president shortly, CNN quotes the campaign as saying.
