US President Joe Biden will discuss top domestic and foreign policy priorities with President-elect Donald Trump when the two meet on Nov. 13, and lobby the incoming administration not to abandon Ukraine, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Nov. 10.
Republican Trump will take office on Jan. 20 after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
Mr. Biden invited Trump to meet in the Oval Office on Nov. 13, the White House said.
In an interview on CBS News' Face The Nation show, Mr. Sullivan said Mr. Biden's top message will be his commitment to ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. He said the President will also talk to Trump about events in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Mr. Sullivan said Mr. Biden will have the chance to explain to Trump how he sees things and where they stand, and discuss how Trump plans to take on these issues when he takes office.
While Mr. Sullivan did not specify which topics the two would discuss, their conversation will almost certainly feature the Russia-Ukraine war, which Trump has pledged to end swiftly, although he has not said how.
