The growing anxiety of those who went out to the streets to protest on Trump's presidency and the uncertainties for the US Allies are being managed by the outgoing administration of Obama. President Obama requested to keep all their concerns and maintain composure amidst the contrasting events that had happened last week. The differences in party and ideologies of the two presidents have already divided the nation that is referred to as a "super power".

During his departure event, outgoing President Obama assured that President-elect Trump has shown a renewed interest to keep US Alliance's strategic relationship along with Obama's convincing capacity during their first historic meeting last Thursday as BBC reports. This was in contrast to Trump's statements during the campaign that he might withdraw the security that NATO countries are currently receiving. For Baltic states, this can be an alarming declaration when they are currently on threat with a Russian attack.

President Obama's statement was during his final overseas trip to the Greek capital, Athens, hours before he arrives, for a trip that will somehow "calm the nerves". As Headlines News reports, President Obama will be talking about democracy on its own birthplace, and maybe, talk about the incoming president by defending some of Trump's motivation. However, President Obama cannot deny his perturbations over the future administration; he still encourages the Democrats to respect the result because "that is how democracy works."

President Obama will, however, face a similar defiance in Greece from an organized anti-US group that will protest upon his arrival. This is not new to US leaders, when Bill Clinton, the last President to visit Greece in 1999, was welcomed by an extensive violent protest back then. Sources in Greece also revealed the people's shock over the US election result but they have maintained a "wait and see" disposition.
