(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would “absolutely” talk to former Vice President Joe Biden after the Biden campaign indicated that he would like to speak to Trump about the coronavirus.



At the White House press briefing, a reporter asked whether the president would be open to speaking with the former vice president.'



“Oh, absolutely. I’d like to -- I’d like to speak to him. Sure. I’d like to -- I’d be -- he should be able to --” Trump said.



When asked how he thinks they could work together, Trump said, “I always found him to be a nice guy. I don't know him very well, frankly, but I think he's probably a nice guy. No, if he'd like to call, I’d absolutely take his call. Okay? You could tell him. All right?” the president said.



Biden told MSNBC on Monday that he can talk about what should be done and what’s not being done.



“Everything that I have done has been designed to be constructive," Biden said.



"The best I can do from my position is to lay out what I think should be done, how to do it, and when it's not being done, say why the experts say, 'This is what we should be doing. Let's do it.,’” he said.
