President Joe Biden is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office to discuss a peaceful transfer of power and a responsible handoff. This meeting will provide an opportunity for President Biden to share his views on top domestic and foreign policy issues with his successor.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan stated on CBS News' 'Face the Nation' that President Biden will use this meeting to explain his perspective to President Trump and understand how the incoming administration plans to address key issues.
One of the topics likely to be discussed is the future of Ukraine aid. President Biden is expected to advocate for ongoing support for Ukraine beyond his term in office, emphasizing the importance of US commitment to its allies.
The Biden administration aims to utilize the remaining aid and resources authorized by Congress before President Trump's inauguration on January 20. However, President Biden will push for continued assistance to Ukraine even after he leaves office.
This meeting between President Biden and President-elect Trump underscores the tradition of a peaceful transition of power in the United States and highlights the importance of continuity in foreign policy commitments.
