Obama Meets With European Leaders in Berlin
LONDON —
President Barack Obama joined the leaders of major European countries in Germany Friday to discuss security and economic challenges facing the trans-Atlantic partners.
The session with the leaders of Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain expands on lengthy talks he held a day earlier with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In what is likely the last such gathering before he leaves office in January and President-elect Donald Trump moves into the White House, Obama brought his message of America’s enduring unity and cooperation to the heart of Europe Thursday, stressing to Germans and all Europeans that the United States will continue to engage with the world.
