US President Biden, in his first public speech since Republican former President Trump won the presidential election, called for an easing of tensions among the increasingly divided nation.
President Biden of the United States:
I hope that no matter who you vote for, we will see each other as fellow Americans, not enemies. Let’s relieve tension.
President Biden addressed the nation on the 7th and revealed that he spoke with Trump on the phone and congratulated him on his victory.
In addition, he expressed his intention to work with Mr. Trump to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power.
Furthermore, regarding the widespread distrust of the electoral system among the people, he stated, “The electoral system is fair and transparent, and there is trust in it no matter who wins or loses,” and urged them to accept the results.
