Former US President Barack Obama, who left office 10 days ago, supported protests against his successor Donald Trump and said that “American values ​​are threatened". He also mentioned "fundamental disagreement" with the new head of state with the Decree on the US defense against terrorism.

"President Obama is thrilled with the level of public participation across the country… Citizens exercising their constitutional right to gather, organize, and ensure that elected officials hear their voices – that is exactly what he (Obama) expects from them when American values ​​are threatened," - a representative of the former head of state told Politico.

"Speaking about President Trump's foreign policy decisions, as you have heard, the president (Obama) fundamentally disagrees with the proposal to discriminate against people because of their religious beliefs," - Obama's representative added.
