    The White House is providing no details about what Obama conveyed to Donald Trump.

    Obama campaigned vigorously against Trump. But the president and president-elect have had regular phone conversations since the election, with the president offering guidance and advice.

    Obama and the first lady Michelle Obama welcomed President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania (meh-LAH’-nee-ah), to the White House.

    The Obamas have greeted the Trumps at the grand North Portico, the column-lined entrance facing Pennsylvania Avenue.

    Obama told Trump that it was good to see him. They exchanged pleasantries, and Melania Trump brought a gift for Michelle Obama.

    Melania Trump initially reached to shake Michelle Obama’s hand, but the first lady instead gave her a hug.

    The families will have coffee and tea at a reception that’s closed to the media.
