Joe Biden will receive Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the White House says.

RFK Jr is an environmental lawyer by trade, a noted vaccine sceptic, and the nephew of former President John F Kennedy.
He ran as an independent candidate in the presidential race, before dropping out in August and endorsing Trump.
Despite having no medical qualifications to his name, Kennedy, 70, is expected to become a kind of "public health star" in the Trump administration.
All the results for the US Senate have nearly been decided and Republicans have a majority - but what does this mean?
Congress - an elected group of politicians who are responsible for making laws - is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, where 100 senators sit - two from each state.
Republicans took control of the Senate after securing 52 seats earlier this week, with each senator elected on a six-year term. These terms are staggered, resulting in one-third of the Senate being up for election every two years.
The Senate has the power to confirm the president's appointments that require consent, tries impeachment cases for federal officials referred to it by the House of Representatives, and provides advice and consent to ratify treaties.
For legislation to be passed, the majority of both the Senate and House of Representatives must vote bills through.

The BBC's US partner CBS has projected that the incumbent Democrat candidate will win the Senate race in Nevada.
97% of the vote is currently in and Democrat candidate Jacky Rosen leads with 47.8% of the vote.
Ukraine, the House of Representatives vote count, and Joe Biden's election bid have all been making headlines this morning - let's have a look what's been happening:
Image source, Getty ImagesAs we mentioned below, those seeking top jobs in Trump's cabinet are courting the president-elect as he narrows down his choices, according to US media reports.
So far, Susie Wiles - one of the masterminds behind Trump's victory against Kamala Harris - has been named as his chief of staff.
Many who served under Trump in his first term do not plan to return. But a handful of loyalists are rumoured to be under consideration for roles including homeland secretary and secretary of state.
Mike Pompeo is among the few former cabinet members who could return.
And new allies, including Robert F Kennedy Jr and Elon Musk, are tipped for influential non-cabinet roles.
According to CBS News, the BBC's US partner, sources close to Trump's campaign have said that Kennedy could be considered for the role of head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Image source, ReutersFloridians living near Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort have been left "frustrated" as the security measures imposed to protect him - including road closures - following his assassination attempt in September cause severe disruptions, according to the Palm Beach Post.
But now the area is expected to get even busier as Mar-a-Lago is transformed into Trump's transition headquarters.
The president-elect will be at the resort today planning his next steps and US media reports suggest he is being courted by people wanting to get a seat in his new administration.
Thursday evening he confirmed campaign manager Susie Wiles will serve as his chief of staff in the White House. More nominations will follow in the coming days, his transition teams says.

As world leaders wait to learn more about Donald Trump's foreign policy strategy, former head of Nato Jens Stoltenberg opened up on how he expects the president-elect to work with the alliance.
Trump has repeatedly criticised fellow Nato members and earlier this year warned the US would not protect allies who failed to meet security spending expectations in case of an attack.
But despite the threat, Stoltenberg tells the World Service's Weekend he expects the US to "remain a committed Nato ally because it is in the national security interest of the United States to have a strong Nato".
"I had a good working relationship with President Trump. He recognised the value of the Transatlantic Alliance," he says. "The main complaint has been the lack of spending, and that has improved enormously over the last years."
Image source, EPAA little earlier, we brought you reports from Russian media suggesting Moscow was ready to listen to Donald Trump's plans to end the war in Ukraine.
Italy's Deputy Prime Minister appears optimistic about the potential outcome of a conversation between Trump and Vladimir Putin - suggesting his peace efforts could earn the president-elect a Nobel.
"[President-elect] Donald Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize if he succeeds in ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine," Matteo Salvini says in a post on X. "In addition to saving lives, this resolution would leave us with a calmer future compared to what the Democrats have left us so far."
Image source, ReutersThe former UK defence secretary has said the country needs to "lean in and invest" in its relationship with Donald Trump as the president-elect looks to reshape US foreign policy.
Asked about concerns over how Trump could seek to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, Ben Wallace told the BBC earlier that the "best way to mitigate unpredictability is to hug them close and be as close as possible".
Trump has said his priority is to end the war and stem the drain on US resources.
But Wallace, who resigned from the ministerial post last year, said his rhetoric formed part of a "trend" towards isolationism within US politics.
"Donald Trump is much more explicit about... more isolationism, no American boots on the ground and withdrawing globally from the world," he said.
"But we've seen the other side - the Democrats trend fairly similarly".
A little more now from the former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi who, as we reported earlier, has said the Democrats may have had more success in the election if Joe Biden had stepped away sooner.
Pelosi told the New York Times, external: "The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary."
Pelosi argued that Harris would have done well in such a primary process and it would have made her "stronger going forward".
"But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different."
Pelosi was among Democrat figures who initially supported Biden as the Democrat candidate for the election. In April, she told the BBC'sLaura Kuenssberg that he would win. Later, she was reportedly one of those who advised Mr Biden to consider his candidacy for the good of the party, though she rejected those reports.
Image source, ReutersAs Democrats get embroiled in a battle of finger pointing, a new survey has highlighted three key factors behind Donald Trump's win.
A poll of 3,262 American voters highlights the state of the economy played a leading role in the defeat of Kamala Harris, with 74% of respondents saying "inflation was too high under the Biden-Harris administration".
Pollster Blueprint notes the border was the second-highest issue mentioned by voters.
Harris was put in charge of tackling the "root causes" of mass immigration from Central America - and she was often criticised by the Trump campaign for the high number of people crossing into the US illegally.
The Democrats's focus on cultural issues also played a significant role in the election results as respondents argued it took the focus away from helping the middle classes, the pollster adds.
Several election offices in Maryland and California received bomb threats on Friday, according to state authorities. Police confirmed later that the threats were baseless, and no explosives were found.
Jared DeMarinis, Maryland State Administrator of Elections, said that some buildings were evacuated due to the threats, but that local officials would resume counting today.
"We are working with law enforcement and federal partners on these latest incidents. NOTHING will deter us from our mission," he wrote in a post on X.
In California's Orange and Riverside Counties, the voter registrars also received bomb threats with office buildings briefly evacuated as a result.
"We are working diligently to address this incident and keep all staff and members of the public who visit our office safe," Bob Page, Orange County Registrar of Voters, said in a statement.
There is also one last state we're waiting on a result from for the presidential race - Arizona.
As a reminder, whoever this state votes for won't change the overall outcome as Trump reached the 270 required electoral college votes to become president-elect earlier this week.
As of this morning, 83% of Arizona's votes had been counted and, at that point, Trump had received a share of 52.7%. The state has 11 electoral college votes.
We'll be keeping an eye on this and bringing you the result once we have it.
Having already secured the White House and the Senate, Republicans are also close to securing the 218 seats needed to control the House of Representatives.
While the counting continues, let's look at some key contests to watch:
Image source, ReutersWe have also heard from the Russian government on how Trump's win could impact the war in Ukraine, with Russia's news agency Interfax reporting that the country's deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, has said Moscow and Washington are "exchanging signals on Ukraine" through closed channels.
He said that preparations hadn't started for a phone call between President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump, but that Russia was open to hearing Trump's proposals on resolving the crisis in Ukraine.
However Ryabkov also remarked that many of Trump's proposals seemed to be mere election rhetoric.
"I think that some of the messages… regarding a super-fast resolution of the situation in Ukraine are nothing more than… a way to attract additional attention to himself during the pre-election period."
A little earlier, our colleagues at the World Service's Weekend programme spoke with a Republican strategist and former Trump campaign adviser who says the United States' aim for ending the war in Ukraine is about finding peace not about returning territory.
Bryan Lanza told the programme that "Zelensky says his goal is to get Crimea back. Well, that's not the goal of the United States. And that's not the goal of the European nation states."
He adds that if Zelensky's priority is "getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back" then he's on his own.
"The priority of America is peace and to stop the killing."
Yesterday, the AFP news agency, citing an anonymous senior Ukrainian official, said they confirmed that Elon Musk participated in a phone call with Trump and Zelensky. It followed a report by US news site Axios.

Pelosi - one of the most powerful politicians in Washington - told the New York Times, external that "had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race".
Her remarks are the latest finger pointing from Democrats after the party lost hold of the White House and potentially both chambers of Congress.
Pelosi is widely reported to have led the Democrats’ push to oust Biden, who ended up leaving the race at the end of July after weeks of pressure following a poor debate performance against Donald Trump.
