“I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me.”
On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump and President Joe Biden sat down for a meeting at the White House’s Oval Office, during which the two leaders discussed the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Speaking with the New York Post as he was leaving Washington, DC, Trump said the two leaders "both enjoyed seeing each other."
"You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog. 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."
They spoke on the two wars, with Trump telling the outlet, "I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me. Also, we talked very much about the Middle East, likewise. I wanted to know his views on where we are and what he thinks. And he gave them to me, he was very gracious."
Trump said that the process for picking his officials for his second term is "going very smoothly," and that the Republican transition team and the Biden White House have a "very, very good relationship."
Trump said during the meeting that "Politics is tough. In many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today and I appreciate it very much. A transition that’s so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get."
