President of the United States of America Barack Obama has arrived in Trinidad and Tobago some 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Mr. Obama, who was in Mexico on official business just yesterday, came down the staircase of Air Force One in a spritely manner and with a smile on his face, spending just a few moments on the tarmac to exchange greetings with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Paula Gopee- Scoon and other Government officials.

Many locals had gathered at Piarco International in hope of catching a glimpse of the first African-American President of the United States of the America and were not let down as Mr. Obama took a minute or two to wave to the anxious onlookers.

The world leader, currently dubbed as the most important person  in the world, is currently en route to the Hyatt Regency in the official vehicle of the US President, nick-named "the Beast".
