US President Donald Trump left the White House on the morning of Wednesday, January 20, a few hours before the end of his mandate, without having welcomed his successor Joe Biden, who will be sworn in at midday.
The Presidential Marine One helicopter carrying Donald and Melania Trump took off shortly after 8:15 a.m. (1:15 p.m. GMT) from the gardens of the White House.
Speaking just a few words, the outgoing president referred to a "fantastic four-year" term, representing "the honor of a lifetime".
After wishing the new administration "good luck", he promised to come back "one way or another".
