Obama said his number one priority in the coming 2 months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures the president-elect is successful.

Obama said he was very encouraged by Trump’s interest in working with his team on many issues facing the US.

He added that it is important for all people regardless of party and political preference to now come together to deal with the many challenges facing the country.

Trump said they discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficult.

Trump added he looks forward to having more talks with Obama, indicating he wants the president’s advice in preparing to form his administration.

It is extremely rare for an incumbent president and a president-elect to meet face-to-face only 2 days after Election Day.

Trump’s victory over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has sparked protest rallies nationwide. Analysts believe Obama is aiming for national reconciliation by ensuring a smooth handover of power.
