Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier this week after John Kasich suspended his campaign.

"With respect to the Republican process and Mr Trump, there's going to be plenty of time to talk about his positions on various issues. He has a long record that needs to be examined. And I think it's important for us to take seriously the statements he's made in the past," Obama said.
