Donald Trump wins 1238 delegates to get the Republican nomination

Donald Trump has won 1238 delegates and the number to win the Republican nomination for US president is 1237 - hence, he is confident of becoming the official nominee of the Republicans. With another 303 delegates at stake in five state primaries on June 7, he will easily avoid a contested convention in Cleveland in July.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 27 May 2016.

However, whether he finally enters the White House or not is a matter of debate because many foreign leaders are apparently worried about the future of the United States with the reins in his hands. President Barack Obama, while speaking on the sidelines of the Group of Seven advanced economies summit in Japan has commented that Donald Trump was ignorant of world affairs.
In the words of President Obama, many foreign leaders at the conference were "surprised by the Republican nominee" and were not too sure of how seriously to take his pronouncements. This is attributed to several of his proposals tend to display either ignorance of world affairs, or a cavalier attitude, or an interest in getting tweets and headlines. He has suggested that what is required is to keep the US safe and prosperous and, also, the world on an even keel.
