US President Biden welcomed President-elect Donald Trump back to the White House on Wednesday for a nearly two-hour meeting as part of the transition process.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the meeting “substantive,” and said the two men discussed national security and domestic policy issues, as Biden raised important items on Congress’ to-do list.
“Well Mr President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations, and looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition,” Biden said, speaking first. Biden told Trump that his administration will accommodate the president-elect’s needs.
“Thank you very much, and politics is tough, and it’s, many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get,” Trump responded.
