President Trump Opens Up About Private Meeting With Joe Biden

President Donald Trump recently made a triumphant return to the White House after defeating Kamala Harris on Election Day.

He met with Joe Biden to talk about the upcoming transition of power and, in a recent interview with the New York Post, revealed some of the things they discussed:

“You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog,” the 78-year-old said during a phone interview as he left Washington. “It’s been a lot of work on both sides and he did a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else. We really had a really good meeting.”

The last two presidents of the United States discussed the transition of power on Jan. 20, with Trump telling Biden in front of the world’s press that it would be “as smooth as can be” following the Republican’s attempt to contest the results four years ago that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Biden’s congenial nature led to increased speculation that he secretly wanted Trump to win:

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also addressed the meeting, per Reuters:

The meeting lasted roughly two hours, she said.

Biden argued support for Ukraine was good for U.S. national security because a strong and stable Europe would keep America from being dragged into war, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told journalists.

Trump has pledged to end the Russia-Ukraine war quickly without saying how.

Trump told the New York Post he and Biden “talked very much about the Middle East” during their conversation. “I wanted to know his views on where we are,” the Post quoted Trump as saying. “And he gave them to me, he was very gracious.”
