Trump: Biden left a "friendly" letter, will consider making its content public

Trump stated on the 21st that former President Biden left him a "friendly" letter in the White House's "Resolute Desk" (the President's desk), continuing the tradition of Inauguration Day.

Trump told reporters that he opened this letter on the evening of the 20th and considered making it public. He said that Biden suggested he enjoy his term and emphasized the importance of this role.

Trump said, "It was addressed to 'No. 47'. It was very good... Basically, it was an inspiring letter. Enjoy it, do well. This job is very important." Trump indicated that he felt he should let the public see this letter because it would be "positive" for Biden.

In January 2021, Trump left a letter for his successor Biden. Biden stated that it was a "very generous" letter but never disclosed its content.
