Obama looks to calm Trump concerns on final tour of Europe
Outgoing US President Barack Obama has visited several countries in Europe in what is his final foreign tour. Amid fears of a "Trump Effect" on the continent, Obama is attempting to assuage concerns with an optimistic outlook. Donald Trump, who has raised concerns over the state of the traditional transatlantic alliance, has also threatened to halt certain international commitments during his campaign trail. But will the words and reassurance of a president who only has a little more than a month in the White House have any impact? On the discussion roundtable, we have Cui Hongjian from the China Institute of International Studies, Brandon Andrews, a former US senate staff, and Iain Begg from the London School of Economics.
