PRESIDENT Obama has greeted his successor, Donald Trump, at the White House today in order to facilitate a “successful transition” between presidencies.
The two men met in the Oval Office midmorning Thursday for 90 minutes, an historic encounter between rivals that was unforeseen just two days ago.
Breaking tradition, Mr Trump’s private plane landed at around 10:30am local time without a pool of reporters and photographers by his side. It is his first visit to Washington, D.C as the President-elect.

As the first images of the private discussion emerge, President Obama referred to it as an “excellent” meeting, saying he was “encouraged” by their conversation.
“I’ve just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with President-elect Trump,” he told reporters during a presser afterwards.
“It was wideranging, we talked about some of the organisational issues with setting up a White House, we talked about foreign policy, we talked about domestic policy.
“As I said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our President-elect is successful,” Obama said.
“I have been very encouraged by the interest in President-elect Trump’s wanting to work with my team around many of the issues that this great country faces and I believe that it is important for all of us, regardless or party and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, work together to deal with the many challenges that we face.”
President Obama added that he and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, “want to make sure that they feel welcome as they prepare to make this transition.”
Speaking directly to Mr Trump, President Obama ended by saying that his primary concern is “to do everything we can to help you to succeed, because if you succeed then the country succeeds.”
