The United States can be relied upon to uphold mutual defense treaties with its allies but a trans-Pacific trade deal now looks unlikely, National Security Advisor Susan Rice said Monday.
In her first public comments since Donald Trump's surprise election win, President Barack Obama's top foreign policy adviser told AFP the weight of the presidency would likely temper Trump's stance.
On the campaign trail, Trump suggested some of America's treaty allies are not pulling their weight and that Washington may not feel bound to defend them, triggering concern in capitals that have relied on US protection for decades.

He’s got a pen and a phone...
Obama didn’t pass any.
Too bad. So sad.
Blah, blah, blah.
January 21st, can’t get here soon enough.
Senate passed treaties, yes. Obama unratified deals, no!
Uh, Treaties are approved by the Senate. If an agreement is not approved by the Senate, it is not a Treaty and can be ignored.
Uh, and SUDDENLY we’re supposed to believe Obama’s White house has suddenly quit lying?
I don’t think so.
I’ll wait to hear what President Trump has to say about what he’s going to do and not pay attention about what Obama says President Trump is going to do.
sure he will uphold NATO, and make em pay the 2% of GDP
That’s right. He never submitted any for approval.
What a dork.
If he’s talking defense treaties, of course. Until and unless they are restructured, we should abide by them.
And even obama knows TPP is gone.
BTW i clicked on your profile instead of the article by accident and was wondering WTH does this have to do with the article! :)
Nice pics.
I think Trump should talk liberal AS HELL for the next 40 days.
And then..?
He should betray EVERY liberal crappola he has said and intimated.
The USA accepted a guy who lied to them 36 times, right..?
We ALREADY crossed into midnight cash pallet/learjet meeting territory:
We can never go back.
If Obama thinks Trump is going to repeal EVERYTHING he has done, then there is no telling WHAT he could do.
He could freaking NUKE us, EMP us.
Trump should LIE HIS AS$ off and on the FIRST day he’s really in office then take it ALL BACK.
And then get to work, stomping the flattened throat of Obama’s legacy ALL DAY LONG.
It’s now the Trump Admin White House
I believe that it is Trump demanding other countries, e.g., NATO, uphold their end of treaties
If he and the media call them treaties, then it proves he’s lying and is treasonous...if you look back, he was specific on calling them understandings or agreements to AVOID the Senate.
LOL...thanks on the pics.
Trumps “surprise” win...
Surprise Suzy Q
Elections have Consequences.
Trump Won.
Agree.
hillary would do that. soros would see us destroyed.
obama is at heart a narcissist who wants to get out of Dodge, be worshiped and rich and play golf the rest of his life.
Obama is like.. a lame duck.
He is also a lame dyck. former tater.
FUBO!
Trump will pass these treaties through the paper shredder. Nothing more!
