Joe Biden and Patriarch Bartholomew
US President-elect Joe Biden, in a response letter to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, declared his desire to cooperate with him. The content of the message was published on the website of the patriarchy.
In the letter, Biden thanked Bartholomew for “kind words and good wishes.” He stressed that he was honored to be elected to the presidency, and reminded that he and the vice-president-elect Kamala Harris have a lot of work ahead. “We look forward to working with you at this difficult time,” the politician added.
It is reported that Biden made a handwritten note to the letter. “Be healthy. We need your guidance, ”he wrote to the patriarch.
As noted by RIA Novosti, earlier Biden and Bartholomew met several times. In addition, the US President-elect has a good relationship with the American Greek diaspora.
On December 15, it became known that Joe Biden had received the electoral votes necessary to win the presidential race. The current American leader Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to admit defeat in the US presidential elections. He believes Biden lost the election “by a wide margin in all six wavering states.”
