President Barack Obama is embarking on a series of meetings with world leaders just weeks after warning that the election of Donald Trump would leave the entire world “teetering.” And if signs from his administration are any guide, he’s leaving it to his successor to quell any residual anxiety.

Obama leaves Monday for Greece, Germany and Peru, where he will huddle with longtime U.S. allies and no doubt address the Republican candidate’s stunning and decisive victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

White House aides characterized world leaders as startled by Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail. And Obama delivered bleak assessments about Trump’s readiness, temperament and intellectual ability to be leader of the free world, saying the day before the election, “You know, it’s bad enough being arrogant [but] it’s bad being arrogant and not knowing anything.”

Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, told reporters Friday that the president knows every world leader will want to talk about Trump and what his election means beyond America’s borders.
