Donald Trump and President Joe Biden during Wednesday's meeting in the Oval Office "talked very much about the Middle East," the president-elect told the New York Post on Wednesday.
"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."
Trump said he and Biden also spoke about the war in Ukraine and the transition of power.
"It's been a long slog," Trump, 78, said during a phone interview as he left 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."
On picking officials for his administration, Trump told the Post: "It's going very smoothly."
