U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden has a blunt suggestion for President-elect Donald Trump: It is time to “grow up.”.

Asked about a few of Mr. Trump’s controversial remarks and tweets since winning the November election, Mr. Biden had some intemperate comments of his own. “Grow up Donald, grow up, time to be an adult, you’re President,” he told television station PBS in an interview broadcast on Thursday. “Time to do something. Show us what you have.” Mr. Trump had earlier on Thursday described Mr. Biden as the “head clown”.

Mr. Biden has indicated he will not step away from the political fray entirely when he leaves office with President Barack Obama on January 20.
