WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Barack Obama is re-emerging on the global stage with a three-country tour that includes meetings with the leaders of China and India.

Obama's office says he arrived in Shanghai on Tuesday to speak at a business conference. He'll also address an education conference in Beijing before meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping. Then in India, Obama will speak at a leadership meeting in New Delhi and meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He'll also hold a town hall meeting for young people hosted by his foundation.

 
Obama's trip finishes in Paris, where he'll speak at another conference and have private meetings.

The tour comes as President Donald Trump is courting the leaders of China and India, as he did during a visit to Beijing earlier this month.

ever faced in the history of the human race (I never exaggerate, do I )

Obama actually could not predict that donald trump is literally a 9 yr old child and that he would literally destroy America to get revenge on him for comments at a dinner.

I just hope I last long enough to see trump voters on the street, wondering how they lost their house.
