Biden Urges Trump to Maintain Support for Ukraine Amid Transition Talks

Biden plans to discuss domestic and foreign policy priorities with Trump, stressing the importance of continued U.S. support for Ukraine. Biden aims to ensure a peaceful power transition and emphasize stability in Europe amid Ukraine's conflict with Russia. Trump, critical of past funding, will assume office on January 20.

U.S. President Joe Biden is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss key domestic and international policy issues. Biden aims to persuade the incoming administration to continue support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, according to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

Speaking on CBS's 'Face the Nation,' Sullivan highlighted Biden's dedication to a peaceful transition of power, stating that the current president will share his perspectives on critical global events with Trump. Biden's agenda includes a discussion on developments in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

A significant topic will be Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia. Trump has criticized the billions in aid allocated to Ukraine and suggested the country might need to cede territory for peace, a notion Biden and Ukraine reject. Biden hopes to argue for continued support to ensure European stability during his remaining time in office.
