Trump's success and Obama's disdain
Add BT as a preferred sourceWashington
US PRESIDENT Barack Obama broke with long-standing precedent to disparage a presidential candidate publicly in a foreign setting. He used the occasion of the recent Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Japan to say that world leaders are "rattled" by Donald Trump, the tycoon and presumptive Republican nominee, "and for good reason", because of his "ignorance of world affairs" and "cavalier attitude".
Mr Trump, Mr Obama said, was more interested in headlines than thinking how to keep America safe and the world on an even keel. Mr Obama's words received apparent confirmation with news last Wednesday that the Republican will make a publicity-hogging visit to the UK on June 24, a day after the European Union referendum - where Mr Trump has backed the "Leave" campaign.
