Biden talks about Brexit, Trump, intel briefings

President-elect Joe Biden will begin receiving classified briefings regularly now that the Trump Administration has removed a major roadblock from his transition.

Biden told reporters in Wilmington, Delaware Tuesday that while its been offered, he hasn't yet had the Presidential Daily Briefing, the regular briefing on the most sensitive intelligence offered to top U.S. officials.

Biden has been blocked from receiving intelligence briefings, and his team had been blocked from contact with their counterparts in the Trump Administration, due to the General Services Administration's refusal to ascertain that Biden won the election while a number of Trump campaign legal challenges against the vote continued. That ascertainment finally came Monday night, lifting those roadblocks to cooperation between the Biden transition and Trump Administration officials.

Biden said he'll now have the briefing "on a regular basis," and since the ascertainment, he said, Trump Administration officials "have been very forthcoming, offering all access."

He also said he would be willing to meet President Donald Trump, "if he asked."

Biden said that he had not yet spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, but that his staff had and that he's been "very, very helpful."

Responding to a reporter's question about the Brexit negotiations, Biden said he did not want to see a guarded border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
