US President-elect Donald Trump and President Joe Biden met in the Oval Office to address key national security issues, including the Ukraine conflict and Middle East policies. The two-hour discussion aimed to ensure a smooth transition prior to Trump’s inauguration. While Biden emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine for US security, Trump pledged to swiftly end the Russia-Ukraine war. Despite their cordial exchange, the transition process faces hurdles, as Trump’s team has not yet finalized essential agreements for resources and access to government officials.
