The President of the USA, Joe Biden, has called Donald Trump, after the attempted assassination attempt on the latter during a rally in Pennsylvania.
A CNN source briefed on President Joe Biden’s call to former President Donald Trump after Saturday night’s assassination described the call between the rivals as “good” and “short and respectful.”
Two senior White House officials described the call similarly, but declined to say more about the conversation.
A senior White House official said Biden and Trump spoke late Saturday by phone, with the president eager to speak directly to his rival. Biden reiterated his assertion that there was no place or tolerance for political violence and assured Trump that he was directing agencies for a full investigation.
Apart from Saturday’s call, the two men had not spoken directly in years. They interacted through moderators during last month’s CNN debate.
