Obama prods Trump on Russia, embraces Merkel in Germany

US President Barack Obama has given a strong endorsement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and used a visit to Berlin to warn Russia about consequences for intervening in the US election and prod Donald Trump to hold firm against Moscow.

 

On a sentimental final trip to Germany as president on Thursday, Obama expressed hope that the New York businessman who has never previously held public office would jettison controversial campaign rhetoric when he entered the White House and keep democratic values in mind as he chose his staff.

 

“What makes me cautiously optimistic about my successor and the shift from campaign mode to governance is there is something about the solemn responsibilities of that office … that it forces you to focus,” Obama said.

 

“If you are not serious about the job, then you probably won’t be there very long because it will expose problems.”
