When asked about it at a brief press conference, the president mocked Mr. Trump’s proposal as an unworkable scheme that strains relations with neighboring countries.
“I am getting questions constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made,” Mr. Obama said, taking a sharp detour into the campaign to succeed him.
He said Mr. Trump’s plans and those of Sen. Ted Cruz, who is competing with Mr. Trump for the Republican nomination, are frightening foreign leaders.
The White House did not name the leaders Mr. Obama had spoken to but pointed to comments from Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who last month did say Mr. Trump has harmed relations between the countries.
