'Don't assume the worst': Obama tells world leaders in Peru 'to give Trump a chance' because 'how you campaign is not always how you govern.


While speaking in Peru in front of world leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit on Saturday, President Obama said to give 'the new president-elect a chance'.

As the president tried to tie up loose ends of his foreign policy agenda at APEC, he found that other world leaders at the town-hall style meeting in Lima were more focused on Donald Trump.

'Don't assume the worst. I think it will be important for everybody around the world to not make immediate judgments, but give this new president-elect a chance to put their team together, to examine the issues, to determine what their policies will be,' Obama said.

'How you campaign is not always how you govern.'

Like seriously.

Obama also tried to ease the concerns of his fellow leaders who fear a Trump presidency may stomp on crucial trade deals.

Obama (pictured, with Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto) has tried to reassure world leaders that the U.S. will uphold its partnerships and obligations under a Trump administration.

Obama is right..

Nigeria is a typical example

Politicians around the world make empty promises during campaign, empty threats also.
