A source briefed on President Joe Biden’s call to former President Donald Trump after the assassination attempt Saturday night described the call between the rivals as “good” and “short and respectful," APA reports citing CNN.
Two senior White House officials described the call similarly, but declined to say more on the conversation.
One senior White House official said Biden and Trump connected late Saturday by phone, with the president eager to speak directly to his rival. Biden repeated his assertion there was no place or tolerance for political violence, and assured Trump he was directing agencies for a full investigation.
Other than Saturday’s call, the two men hadn’t spoken directly in years. They interacted through moderators during last month’s CNN debate.
