Barack Obama, Donald Trump meet at White House
Washington, Nov 10 (IBNS): US President Barack Obama on Thursday greeted President-elect Donald Trump at the White House for ensuring a smooth transition of power, media reports said.
Creating history, Republican party candidate Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States on Tuesday by defeating former Secretary of State and Democratic candidate party Hillary Clinton.
Obama had, however, campaigned rigorously for Trump's rival Clinton.
According to reports, First lady Michelle Obama will also meet Trump's wife Melania in the White House residence privately.
Earlier, disappointed voters in New York City and Chicago marched into the night, denouncing the President-elect’s rhetoric on immigrants, Muslims and other minority groups, which had already kicked up a storm and made a sharp division among the electorate.
