Obama and Trump meet for 1st time at the White House (photos)
President Obama and president-elect Donald Trump met today at the White
House and what an awkward scene it was. They spent 90minutes together, a
meeting Donald Trump said he thought would last 10-15 minutes.
It was the very first time both men will meet each other, as Obama
showed Trump, his wife Melania, Vice president elect Mike Pence, Mrs
Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan round the White House.
Both of them said good things about each other during the meeting with
Obama saying he was "encouraged" by Mr Trump's willingness to work with
his team, telling him:
"We want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you
succeed the country succeeds" while Trump called Obama a 'good man'
The more cordial and friendly tone adopted by the two men towards each
other was in sharp contrast to the bitter spats that characterized the
election campaign.
