President Joe Biden met with President-elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office yesterday, emphasizing a peaceful transition of power.
Trump responded with optimism, saying the transition would be as smooth as possible.
Both presidents have exchanged heated arguments in the past. Trump has criticized Biden as weak and a threat to democracy, while Biden has accused the President-elect of attempting to steal the election.
The meeting lasted about two hours, with both leaders discussing critical national security and domestic issues.
Biden’s national security adviser also addressed continued support for Ukraine.
Accompanied by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, President-elect Trump began outlining his administration’s goals, including tougher border restrictions. He also named several key cabinet nominees this week, rewarding loyalty with key appointments.
