Joe Biden has welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House in a meeting in the oval office.  

It's a traditional courtesy that the outgoing president welcomes the incoming president, a courtesy Trump didn’t afford Biden in 2020 after his loss.  

Today, the pair both spoke about a smooth transition of power.  

US correspondent Mitch McCann told Ryan Bridge there were a lot of smiles and handshakes. 

He says it was a little unexpected, seeing as they usually seem to despise each other.
