We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Can our own president travel to US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?


World power is a position that usually requires the death of a continent or even earth itself lol

The reason for this heavily armed protection is avoidance of world war 3. If US president is killed in another soil it will ignite a nuclear response from the US. Better to prevent such scenario.

Naaah. I was lodged at the oyster box hotel in Durban same time as Buhari. There were about 8 South African policemen loitering around the hotel whilst he was there and no other security presence there except maybe the gluttonous kaftan wearing men following him upandan
then isn't there in the hotel. No country in the world will handover the security of her president to another country completely. The security is headed by president ADC, atleast once in a while you should have seen him with the president. Most of the securities are without official usual military uniform except the ADC and the weapons are not expose. The security of the country he visits and from Nigeria high commission will support that of the securities that came with president.

Well, it’s US Airforce personnel who run security aboard Airforce One, whilst the SS is in charge of the president’s security once he is no longer on board the aircraft

The OP asked; "Why Does US President Travel With So Many Soldiers and cars To other Countries".

The OP talked about Soldiers (army), not airforce. They are completely different. We all know the airforce is in charge of airforce 1. But do soldiers travel with the US president? The answer is no!

Maybe but some of those 'enemies' are misguided.

The US is far from perfect BUT its net benefit to the world is unrivalled.

Perharps if the US didn't exist, the quality of life across the world would have been a little poorer.

It's the same reason why (for all the criticism) the US has the most Visa application across the world.

America as country has witnessed series of Assassinations and assassination attempts of it's number one citizen in the past..

Each bad news, comes with security measures for the next one till they got it right with the heavy protection.

That beast is the safest machine any where in the world..

Do you see that Beast? It's not the Asian-made Toyota, and it's not a German Mercedes. It's a Cadillac; American-made Cadillac. That's how greatness is built; like Soludo opting for home-made IVM over foreign vehicles. Even if Toyota was better than caddy, the US would still choose their own over foreign brands. They trust in themselves. You ask why US presidents use their own security apparatus no matter what part of the world they go? The answer is simple; they believe in theirs more than they do other's.

This is one of the evil and scam of democracy........ Americans and other western democracies always criticised China and Russia socialist communism by claiming that democracy is superior to communism........... But as it always turn out communism is always better, less corrupt, less expensive, protecting the interest of the masses,

Have you ever seen president of Russia and China move with such a large and expensively well armed convoys before?

Have you heard or seen China or Russia spending trillions annually on military as compare to America? Any they have a more frightening and competent forces than America.

Democracy is wastages, flamboyant and corrupt system of governance, that is why Nigeria is such a mess today.

Russia and China. security arrangement during presidential trips is quite expensive. only a rich country with a high-security budget can afford to have as much security detail that is if it is allowed by the host country

God1000:

Can our own president travel to the US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?
yes only if the country he is visiting grants permission and issue the necessary permits for his security details to carry a firearm just like the president and his entourage also require a visa to visit the host country. the security details travel on an official passport but have no diplomatic immunity

what I'm trying to say is that if US can station armed marines in other countries, then what is the big deal here, it means US president can travel with armed soldiers as well, why is he trying to invalidate what I wrote.

When Obama travelled to Kenya as president, US marines alongside Kenyan soldiers were seen patrolling the airport

President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.

First, the US president doesn't travel with "so many soldiers, armed marines and FBI" for his security as alluded to by the OP. That information is very incorrect.

Second, the US president travels with the same compliment usually a very large security team on every foreign trip. Some countries might be considered higher security risk& so more caution is taken, but nothing is left to chance even in friendlier countries
