I think you're missing the point: It is the context created by Trump's comments during the campaign that is THE problem. Trump has made a lot of comments that were very unsettling to international partners. What I see is Obama trying to reassure them that US will keep its commitments...
Anyway, let me not express my opinion as fact. Here are the transcripts from the press conference in Germany. Perhaps you could highlight the sections that lead to your conclusions.
