Obama Vietnam Trip

President Barack Obama's parting shot before leaving communist Vietnam: let people express themselves.

Barack Obama fielded questions today on everything from rap and weed smoking to his good looks at a lively meeting with young Vietnamese, who see the US leader as a far cry from their staid Communist rulers.

The chef and the commander-in-chief met in Vietnam for a carefully curated bro hang on Monday.

US President Barack Obama arrived in Vietnam late Sunday ahead of a three-day trip aimed at sealing the transformation of an old enemy into a new partner to help counter China's growing assertiveness in the region.

Barack Obama departed on Saturday on a trip to Vietnam and Japan that will include the first visit to Hiroshima, site of the world's first nuclear attack, by a sitting US president.

US President Barack Obama will make an historic visit to Hiroshima during a trip to Vietnam and Japan later this month as part of his 10th trip to Asia, the White House said.

Before joining President Barack Obama on his first trip to Vietnam next month, Secretary of State John Kerry will take a day to reflect on his long and complicated history with the Asian country, first as a soldier and later as a war protester and statesman.
