Officially, the top world leaders who gather Thursday at the Group of 7 summit meeting will talk about shared concerns, like global trade or the Islamic State. But their private discussions are likely to cover a topic that is not on the agenda: Donald J. Trump.
President Obama now hears questions in his meetings with world leaders about whether Mr. Trump has a realistic shot at becoming president.
For months, Mr. Obama has answered those questions with an emphatic no.
But this weeks summit meeting in Japan is the first among major allies since Mr. Trump moved decisively toward securing the Republican nomination, and Mr. Obamas counterparts are likely to want more detail in his explanations of an election that has prompted fascination and apprehension overseas.

Much better for the other countries to be worried, rather than having them continue to take advantage of the US.

Trump will answer those questions soon.

Too funny. What’s Obama going to tell them NYT? All he’s got is BS. It’s all we’ve heard for almost eight years.
Let them ask Trump, and then they’ll know.

Strange that I don’t remember them all being concerned and having “Barack Obama” questions eight years ago.

It’s reassuring that the Times is concerned about any discomfort Obama may have to endure because of Trump.

I hope Trump fires off a “refer all their questions to me” tweet.

“But their private discussions are likely to cover a topic that is not on the agenda: Donald J. Trump.”
In other words, the Times has no damned idea what foreign leaders will ask Obozo.

Useless bilge from the commie NY TIMES.
To: Innovative
What Trump has said is that the US puts incompetent idiots in positions of power to represent US. I despise so called ‘news sources’ that misrepresent what people actually say.. The Japanese know darn well they have been our parasite for decades. We put people in positions of power to continue the feeding.
