Part 2/7:
During a press conference, President Biden emphasized the necessity of the next administration's involvement in ensuring the effectiveness of this ceasefire agreement. When questioned about credit for the deal, Biden cited his administration's prior work, claiming the framework closely mirrored a proposal he had put forward in May of last year. However, Biden's comments suggested a delicate balance of acknowledging the Trump team's contributions while maintaining a degree of ownership of the agreement.
"I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team to make sure we’re all speaking with the same voice," Biden stated, highlighting an unusual cooperation between outgoing and incoming administrations in negotiating such a significant deal.
