LIMA, Peru — President Barack Obama will close a three-nation, post-U. S. election tour the same way he opened it: by reassuring leaders from around the world that U.S. democracy isn’t broken and that everything will be fine when Republican Donald Trump succeeds him next year.

Obama is spending the weekend in Lima, Peru, to make a final appearance at an annual Asian-Pacific summit.

But global concerns about Trump’s pending ascension to the world’s most powerful office after a surprise win in the U.S. presidential election will be a key topic of discussion during Obama’s meetings. The Trump issue overshadowed the president’s interactions with world leaders last week in Athens, Greece and Berlin.

Trump opened what was an unlikely presidential bid by blasting Mexicans as criminals and rapists, and vowing to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep them and other Latinos from entering the U.S. illegally. During the campaign, the New York businessman rattled U.S. allies by questioning the value of multinational organizations like NATO, and he opposed international trade deals, including a pending Pacific trade pact that Obama negotiated with 11 other countries, calling such agreements harmful to U.S. workers.

Since Obama opened the final foreign trip of his presidency with a stop in Greece on Tuesday, he has tried to reassure his counterparts that the U.S. will uphold its partnerships and obligations despite the divisive rhetoric of a campaign that ended with the election of a real estate mogul and reality TV star with no prior political or government experience.

Obama was likely to offer additional reassurance during a one-on-one meeting Saturday with Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who took office as Peru’s president earlier this year.

On Friday, before Obama’s late-night arrival in Peru’s oceanfront capital, Kuczynski warned that the U.S. presidential election is a sign of growing hostility toward free trade that threatens the global economy. He told delegates gathering for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum that global trade had stopped growing in the past two years, and would only worsen if nations wall off their economies — as Trump has pledged to do with an agenda that calls for putting America’s interests above all else.

“It is fundamental that world trade grow again and that protectionism be defeated,” said Kuczynski, who did not mention Trump by name.
