US President-elect Donald Trump revealed details about his post-election tete-a-tete with President Biden in the Oval Office.
"You know, it's been a long, it's been a long slog," the 78-year-old told The Post whilst departing 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."
"We got to know each other again," he added.
The transition of power discussion between the two leaders occurred on January 20, where Trump publicly assured a "smooth as can be" handover, notably different from the contested results four years prior that led to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump informed The Post that the transition process was proceeding efficiently, noting the positive working relationship between the Republican transition team and the Biden White House.
During their meeting, the leaders addressed their contrasting positions on two crucial matters: the Ukrainian conflict, which Trump intends to resolve shortly after taking office, and the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
"I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me," Trump told The Post. "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."
The two leaders plan to meet again before the inauguration, which Biden has confirmed he will attend.
"The Oval Office is so beautiful and I do certainly look forward [to coming back]," Trump said.
"We'll have that very, very nice meeting that takes place between two presidents sometime prior. You know, that takes place just prior to going in. So we'll have that. But this was a very enjoyable meeting."
