YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS. President-elect Donald Trump said on Thursday after a meeting with House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan that after his inauguration he will work very rapidly on issues like healthcare and immigration, Reuters reports.

Speaking in Ryan's office, Trump told reporters: "We are going to lower taxes, as you know," and added: "I think we are going to do some absolutely spectacular things for the American people."

Earlier CNN reported Donald Trump met with President Barack Obama at the White House, an historic encounter between two men who have been bitter enemies for years.

The Trump-Obama meeting was unexpected just days ago. The core of Trump's campaign was his claim that Obama is incompetent. Obama, meanwhile, had mocked Trump on the campaign trail.

But in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's results, Trump and Obama have both sought to set politics aside ahead of the transition.
