English subtitles for clip: File:President Obama Meets with President-Elect Trump.webm

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
President Obama: Well I
just had the opportunity

2
00:00:02,001 --> 00:00:04,001
to have an excellent
conversation with

3
00:00:04,003 --> 00:00:06,103
President Elect Trump.

4
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:10,946
It was wide ranging, we
talked about some of the

5
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:13,684
organizational issues in
setting up a white house,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,750
we talked about foreign
policy, we talked about

7
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,720
domestic policy.

8
00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:23,158
And as I said last night
my number one priority in

9
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:28,326
the next two months is
to try and facilitate a

10
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:31,498
transition that ensures
our President Elect

11
00:00:31,498 --> 00:00:32,368
is successful.

12
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:41,705
And I have been encouraged
by the, I think interests

13
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:48,748
in President Elect Trump's
wanting to work with my

14
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:53,558
team around many the
issues that this great

15
00:00:53,553 --> 00:00:59,363
country faces and I
believe that's important

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,499
for all of use regardless
of party, regardless of

17
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:07,536
political presences to now
come together, to work

18
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:11,434
together to deal with any
challenges that we face.

19
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:17,848
In the meantime Michelle
has had a chance to greet

20
00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:23,354
the incoming first lady
we had an

21
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:26,149
excellent conversation
with her a well.

22
00:01:26,152 --> 00:01:29,452
And we want to make sure
they feel welcome as they

23
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:31,796
prepare to make
this transition.

24
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:36,061
And most of all I want
to emphasize to you,

25
00:01:36,062 --> 00:01:45,542
Mr. President Elect that
we now are going to want

26
00:01:45,538 --> 00:01:47,708
to do everything we can to
help you succeed because

27
00:01:47,707 --> 00:01:50,847
if you succeed then
the country succeeds.

28
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:51,944
Please go ahead.

29
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,345
President Elect Trump:
Well thank you very much

30
00:01:53,346 --> 00:01:54,816
President Obama.

31
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:56,714
This was a meeting that
was going to last for

32
00:01:56,716 --> 00:01:58,816
maybe ten to
fifteen minutes.

33
00:01:58,818 --> 00:02:01,118
We were just going to get
to know each other, we had

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,320
never met each other.

35
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:07,762
I have great respect, the
meeting lasted for maybe

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760
an hour and a half and it
could have, as far as I'm

37
00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:12,963
concerned, could have
gone on for a lot longer.

38
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:17,566
We really, we discussed
a lot of, different

39
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:23,240
situations, some wonderful
and some difficulties.

40
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,443
I very much look forward
to dealing with the

41
00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:32,755
president in the future,
including council, he's

42
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:35,952
explained some of the
difficulties, some of the

43
00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:38,995
high-flying assets some of
the really great things

44
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:40,732
that have been achieved.

45
00:02:40,727 --> 00:02:43,227
So Mr. President it was a
great honor meeting with

46
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:46,329
you and look forward to
being you many many more

47
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:47,232
times in the future.

48
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:48,033
