Obama calls Trump after Twitter complaint about "roadblocks"

The tweet on Wednesday morning brought tensions between the two men into the open less than a month before Inauguration Day, though the president’s phone call later may have smoothed over relations.

“We had a very nice conversation,” Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. “We had a general conversation.”

“Today’s call, like the others since the election, was positive and focused on continuing a smooth and effective transition,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement. “The president and president-elect committed to staying in touch over the next several weeks and agreed their respective teams would continue to work together to effectuate a smooth transition of power on January 20th.”
