The meeting between Trump and Biden took place at the Oval Office and lasted for over two hours. It was followed by a lunch at the White House. At the meeting, Biden reiterated his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition of power, saying that he would do "everything we can to make sure [Trump is] accommodated."
Responding to it, Trump said: "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. A transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe."
