The White House has released a photo showing Michelle Obama and Melania Trump meeting in the Yellow Oval Room.

On Thursday, in an eagerly anticipated event, Donald Trump met with President Obama as part of the ongoing transition from the current administration to the next.
But there was a great deal of interest in another meeting as well - the one involving Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. The White House has released a photo of the two sitting together and engaged in a conversation in the Yellow Oval Room.
According to the Washington Post, "They talked about raising children and took a tour of the White House’s private residence before heading to the Oval Office to meet with the president and president-elect. The tour also included a visit to the Truman Balcony, which overlooks the South Lawn, and a tour of the State Floor of the executive mansion with the White House curator."
Within hours the photo of Michelle and Melania was widely circulated on social media with a wide range of reactions as expected.
One user noted, "Michelle. Is. Meeting. With. Melania. Now. I'm not ready. The world's not ready."
Another commenter said, "While Obama and Trump talk in the Oval Office, Michelle Obama will give Melania Trump a tour of the WH. That's gotta be so awkward."
