US President-elect Donald Trump said he and President Joe Biden were “really happy to see each other” in a historic post-election meeting in the Oval Office.
“You know, it’s been a long time, it’s been a long time,” Trump said in a phone interview as he left Washington. “It was a great job on both sides and he did a very good job of campaigning and everything. We really had a very good meeting.”
The two presidents of the United States discussed the transition of power on January 20, and Trump told Biden in front of the world press that it would be “as smooth as possible” after an attempt by Republicans to challenge the results of the four-year-old, which ended in riots in the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“Everything is going very smoothly,” Trump told The Post about the process of selecting officials for his second term, adding that the Republican transition team and the Biden White House have a “very, very good relationship.”
Trump also said he and Biden discussed the Middle East.
The president-elect added that he and Biden discussed two issues on which they have disagreed in the past: the war in Ukraine, which Trump promised to end almost immediately after taking office; and the ongoing war in the Middle East.
“I wanted — I asked him for his opinion, and he gave it to me,” Trump said.
Trump also said he and Biden expect to see each other again just before his inauguration, which the incumbent Democrat has already said he will attend.
“The Oval Office is so beautiful and I’m looking forward to (returning),” he said.
