US President Donald Trump told former President Joe Biden that they could be good friends outside politics.
Globalinfo.az reports that Joe Biden wrote about this in his memoir, “Promise Me, America”.
According to Biden, Donald Trump made the unexpected admission during a meeting at the White House after the 2024 presidential election.
“You know, Joe, if it were not for politics, I think we could be good friends,” Trump told the former president.
Biden said Trump’s warm behaviour surprised him, and he even thought the other side was joking with him. According to the former US leader, Trump praised his achievements in creating jobs during the conversation and said he was glad he did not have to compete against him in the election.
Biden said the meeting, initially planned to last 30 minutes, continued for about two hours. During that time, he tried to discuss international issues with Trump, including the war in Ukraine, NATO-Russia relations, the situation in the Middle East and policy toward China.
However, Biden observed that Trump was more interested in the personal qualities of world leaders than in global problems.
