US President Joe Biden promised a "peaceful and orderly" transfer of power to the newly elected President Donald Trump, the world agencies reported, quoted by BTA.
In his speech from the White House, the president from the Democratic Party emphasized the need to reduce political tension in the country, notes France Press. This is Biden's first speech since the announcement of the victory of his predecessor, ex-president Donald Trump.
"You can't love your country only when you win. You cannot love your neighbor only when you are of the same mind. "One thing I hope we can do is see each other not as enemies, but as Americans, regardless of who you voted for," he stressed in his statement from the White House Rose Garden.
The American electoral system is fair, just and transparent. "She can be trusted whether you lose or win,", Biden added.
"In a democracy, the will of the people always prevails", the US president added at the beginning of his speech.
In conclusion, he reminded that defeat does not mean loss. "America is standing up," Biden said. "We will manage, but we have to stay committed."
