Donald Trump has revealed what he and Joe Biden spoke about during their White House meeting amid the switch of power.

Following an intense election night on November 6 against Kamala Harris, it has been confirmed that the former business tycoon will be taking up his second term in office as the nation's 47th President of the United States.

Trump managed to secure over 50 percent of the votes compared to Harris' 47.6 percent, though many critics have spoken out against the win, including celebrities and other politicians alike.

Regardless, the 78-year-old will take his seat in the Oval Office early next year after his inauguration on January 20.

Before the day came around, Trump decided to meet up with the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, to ensure a smooth transition of power.

Speaking to The New York Post, the President-Elect gave us an insight into their conversation.

"You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog," he said during a phone interview with the outlet 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."

Trump noted that the pair had a great time "[getting] to know each other again."

“It’s going very smoothly,” he said before adding that the Republican transition team and the Biden White House enjoy a "very, very good relationship."

The pair went on to discuss other massive topics such as the war in Ukraine as well as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

"I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me," Trump revealed to the outlet. "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."

"The Oval Office is so beautiful and I do certainly look forward [to coming back]," he said.

“We’ll have that very, very nice meeting that takes place between two presidents sometime prior. You know, that takes place just prior to going in. So we’ll have that. But this was a very enjoyable meeting," Trump added.
