Biden said succeeding Trump was a "pretty low bar to climb" but added that there was nonetheless a lot of work to do.

The US president's commentary came days after his predecessor called on Biden to end the "crazy" Ukraine conflict that Washington has only escalated with its ongoing military aid packages.

“First come the tanks, then come the nukes. Get this crazy war ended, now. So easy to do,” Trump said. His remarks at the time came a day after Biden announced the US would be sending 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

Trump announced last fall that he would run for US president in the 2024 presidential election.
