Despite the snub, Jill Biden noted that she still left a note for Melania, which she handed to President-elect Donald Trump during the opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in France.
“I congratulated her and I offered help,” Jill Biden recalled.
A Positive Interaction in France
The meeting between Jill Biden and Donald Trump at the cathedral marked a rare moment of cordiality between the outgoing and incoming administrations. Trump described their interaction as pleasant, saying, “She couldn’t have been nicer.”
Jill Biden also shared a light-hearted exchange with Trump, recounting his remark about a meeting he had with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office. “I had a good meeting with your husband,” Trump told her, to which she replied, “Yes, because you’re both talkers.”
Disappointment in Political Allies
Jill Biden did not shy away from discussing her disappointment with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who reportedly urged President Joe Biden to step aside and not seek re-election. Reflecting on the episode, Jill Biden said, “Let’s just say I was disappointed with how it unfolded.”
When pressed further, she added, “I don’t know. I learned a lot about human nature. … I think that’s all I’m going to say.”
This tension may explain the first lady’s visible warmth toward Donald Trump during their interaction in France. The contrast between her remarks about Pelosi and her congenial tone toward Trump has raised eyebrows in political circles.
Trump Discusses Global Diplomacy
While Jill Biden reflected on relationships, Donald Trump provided insights into his discussions with world leaders. In a separate interview with the New York Post, Trump revealed details of a trilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to Trump, Zelensky expressed a desire for peace in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
“He wants to make peace,” Trump said of Zelensky. “He thinks it’s time, and Putin should think it’s time because he’s lost — when you lose 700,000 people, it’s time.”
