Former U.S. president Barack Obama (left) dined with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Montreal's Liverpool House on June 6, 2017 (Justin Trudeau/Twitter)
WNU Editor: Former President Obama has certainly been busy. Today he met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in Seoul .... Shadow President? Obama Meets With South Korean President To Discuss Trump (Daily Caller). A few days ago Indonesian President .... Barack Obama meets Joko Widodo in visit to childhood home of Indonesia (ABC News Online). A few weeks ago Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau in Montreal .... The Liverpool House Summit: What did Obama and Trudeau talk about? (CBC). In May he openly endorsed then French Presidential candidate .... Obama declares support for Macron in French election - video (The Guardian). Also in May .... meeting German Chancellor Merkel hours before she was to meet President Trump .... 1 day, 2 presidents: Merkel meets with Obama, then Trump (CNN). As for his private phone calls and communications ..... I can only speculate on that ..... but I would not be surprised if he is talking to a lot of world leaders. Is this a big deal? Yes and no. He is now a private citizen .... so he can do what he wants. But this is not normal behaviour for an ex-President .... far from it. My prediction .... he will continue to meet and/or have phone calls with foreign leaders .... at least with those who still want his advice .... but his focus will be on domestic issues and (definitely) domestic politics, starting with this .... Obama plays behind-the-scenes role in rebuilding Democratic Party (The Hill)
