Having trouble viewing this email? Click here. November 15, 2016 MORE POLITICS > What Trump Told Obama Obama Says Trump Told Him He Would Support NATO President Obama said yesterday that President-elect Donald Trump told him personally that he would maintain a strong "commitment" to NATO -- after the real estate mogul threatened to abandon the alliance during the campaign. Obama made the remarks at a press briefing at the White House just before departing on his last trip overseas as president, an opportunity he'll take to signal "solidarity with our closest allies," he said. "In my conversation with the president-elect he expressed a great interest in maintaining our core strategic relationships, and so one of the messages I will be able to deliver is his commitment to NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance," Obama said.

"If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes," Trump told The New York Times in July when asked if he would defend the Baltic states from an attack by Russia. http://abcn.ws/2fR1WY6 READ MORE   Republicans Struggle to Respond as Democrats Denounce Bannon Hire Trump's selection of Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus to be his chief of staff brought quick praise from members of the GOP, but Sunday's other major Trump administration appointment has so far been met with silence from within the party, note ABC's MARY BRUCE, BENJAMIN SIEGEL and ALI ROGIN. While Democrats have been quick to criticize Trump's appointment of Steve Bannon as chief strategist, top Republicans have been hesitant to talk about Bannon's new role in the White House. http://abcn.ws/2fzIxLX Bannon Backgrounder Bannon, 62, worked behind-the-scenes as Trump's presidential campaign CEO. Top Democrats in Congress and prominent anti-defamation groups decry Bannon's appointment and point to his rhetoric and leading role with Breitbart News that as an indication that he holds white nationalist and anti-Semitic views, report ABC's VERONICA STRACQUALURSI and SHUSHANNAH WALSHE. http://abcn.ws/2eUgO6W READ MORE   Analysis - How Donald Trump Won and Almost All of Us Missed It When Loriann Syswerda, 27, walked into her Michigan polling location last Tuesday, election experts and pundits may have thought Syswerda — a white woman with a college degree in a light blue state — would be pulling the lever for Hillary Clinton. But people like Syswerda across the Rust Belt were poised to deliver one of the most shocking upsets in American political history.

"There was a lot of folks who missed the Trump phenomenon...that connection that he was able to make...that was impervious to events that might have sunk another candidate, that's powerful stuff," Obama said in his first press conference since the historic 2016 election. http://abcn.ws/2fafw92 READ MORE   Could Donald Trump Really Dismantle the Iran Nuclear Deal? Days after a historic nuclear accord was struck between six world powers and Iran, then Republican primary candidate Donald Trump tweeted that the deal posed "a direct national security threat" the United States and called on republicans to "stand up" and put a stop to it. Since then Trump has called it "the stupidest deal of all time," and his Vice President-elect Mike Pence has vowed the deal would be "ripped up." So, what exactly does the Iran deal guarantee as it stands now and what could President-elect Donald Trump, with backing of a Republican-controlled Congress, do to change it or end it altogether?
