Trump promises ‘smoothest transition ever’ in White House meeting with Biden
Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump reassured President Joe Biden on Wednesday that the transition of power would be “as smooth as it can get” during their meeting at the White House.
As Trump arrived to discuss the upcoming handover in January, Biden welcomed him with a warm reception.
“Well, Mr. President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations,” Biden began.
“We look forward to having a smooth transition, doing everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated and get what you need.
“We’re going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. So welcome, welcome back,” Biden added.
Trump responded with gratitude, reflecting on the nature of politics.
“Thank you very much. Politics is tough, and it’s in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much,” Trump replied.
“A transition that is so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get. I very much appreciate that, Joe,” he added.
The two leaders shared a private discussion to ensure a seamless handover of responsibilities as the inauguration approaches.
