"We do not want someone in the Oval Office does not recognize the importance of that it is," Obama said.

US President Barack Obama has questioned the credentials of foreign policy of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying he does not "know a lot" about the world.

"They tell us that the person who made the statements not much is known about foreign policy and nuclear policy or the Korean peninsula or the world in general," Obama told reporters on Friday at the end of the nuclear security summit Washington.

He said recent statements by Mr. Trump on US foreign policy, which has unnerved the national security institutions, came during his interaction with world leaders.

"I have said before people pay attention to the US elections. What we do is really important for the rest of the world.

"Even in countries where they are used to a carnival atmosphere in their own policy, wants simplicity and clarity when it comes to US elections," Obama said.

"They understand President of the United States has to know what is happening around the world and has put in place the kinds of policies that lead not only to our security and prosperity, but will have an impact on everyone’s security and prosperity, "he added.

Earlier countries, Mr. Trump had favored as Japan and South Korea develop their own nuclear weapons capabilities to defend themselves rather than the US protect them.

"The US alliance with Japan and South Korea is one of the cornerstones of the US presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is assured, peace and prosperity of the region and has been a boom to American trade and American influence, "said the US president ..

Obama said he has prevented the possibility of nuclear escalation in conflicts between countries in the past and history have participated in enormously destructive conflicts and controversies.

He called foreign policy with countries like Japan and South Korea an investment that is based on the sacrifices that men and American women did again in World War II.

"We do not want someone in the Oval Office does not recognize the importance of that is," Obama said.
