Barack Obama: Russian President Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin: Obama's plan to visit Russian President Vladimir Putin has been up in the air with Russia granting temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. The White House was rebuffed in its requests to have Snowden extradited to the U.S. to face charges, according to Times Colonist. But Carney says a stop in Moscow for one-on-one talks with Putin is under evaluation because of the disagreement over Snowden and "other issues where we have failed to see eye-to-eye," including Syria and WASHINGTON - The White House is saying it will announce in the coming days whether President Barack Obama is going to cancel a visit to Moscow. Obama spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that Obama still plans to go to St. Petersburg next month for the Group of 20 summit with other leading economic nations. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
