Politics – Obama: Trump ‘rattles’ world leaders

At a press conference from the G-7 summit in Japan, President Barack Obama addressed the U.S. presidential race, saying presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s statements were concerning to world leaders. “They’re rattled by him and for good reason,” Obama said. “Because a lot of the proposals that he’s made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of actually thinking through what is required to keep America safe.” Obama said the U.S. is “at the heart of the international order and even those countries that are critical of us…know that ultimately things don’t hold together so well if the U.S. isn’t making good decisions and they count on us to provide stability when making global decisions.”
