The private meeting was one of several for Trump in Washington on Thursday. After leaving the White House, he met on Capitol Hill with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
After a flight on his private jet from New York City, Trump entered the White House through the South Lawn entrance – avoiding news cameras and the president’s staff – where he and Obama met for longer than expected.
Trump noted that the session was expected to last 10 to 15 minutes but went on much longer.
“As far as I’m concerned, it could have lasted a lot longer,” Trump said. “We discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties. I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel.”
