ident-elect Trump Expected To Meet with Mitt Romney
President-elect
Donald Trump
is at his estate and golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey, this weekend
for a string of appointments with high-profile figures, including the
former
GOP presidential nominee and governor of Massachusetts,
Mitt Romney.
On Sunday morning, Trump tweeted, "Numerous patriots will be coming to
Bedminster today as I continue to fill out the various positions
necessary to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
On Saturday, Romney arrived for his meeting with Trump and members of
his transition team at the Trump National Golf Club about 1 p.m. and
left shortly before 2:30 p.m.
As he and Trump emerged from the meeting, the president-elect did not
approach the press, but, responding to shouted questions, told reporters
the meeting "went great."
But a readout released by the transition team late Saturday said Trump
and Romney "had a substantive and in-depth conversation about world
affairs, national security and the future of America. It was an
extremely positive and productive conversation."
Romney made a brief statement to the media, saying the meeting focused
on foreign affairs. He said he "looks forward" to a Trump
administration, but would not comment on whether he wants to be a part
of it.
"We had a far-reaching conversation with regard to the various theaters
in the world where there are interests of the United States of real
significance. We discussed those areas and exchanged our views on those
topics,” Romney said.
