President Obama call the international community to avoid making hasty conclusions when it comes to President-Elect Trump’s future policies. He thinks that it’s important to avoid any premature conclusions and give the new president a chance to collect a team of experts and show the world what they all are capable of. This statement was made during the recent summit in Peru.
President Obama underlines that the way candidates often run their election campaign doesn’t coincide with the way they run the country as new presidents. During the election campaigns, candidates are trying to touch the electorate’s feelings, he says. However, later on, each president-elect faces a new reality and has to figure out how to deal with it properly.
Barack Obama underlines that Donald Trump has already showed the USA’s commitment to the NATO. At the same time, there are no reasons to expect any serious changes in the USA’s attitude to Latin America.
At the same time, Barack Obama highlights the fact that the U.S. president is not the only person running the country and defining the domestic and foreign policies. There are secret and military services, diplomats, as well as the Congress and other bodies. This makes the United States and irreplaceable super-power when it comes to maintaining the world order.
Previously, the international community used to be concerned with Donald Trump’s victory, especially Western European allies, since they used to be afraid that the President-Elect was going to change his commitment to the NATO. The thing is that during his election campaign, Mr. Trump was promoting the idea that the NATO is an outdate military alliance. However, the NATO deiced to give President-Elect trump some time to decide on the USA’s policies.
