The White House: Obama

Obama: Obama is scheduled to visit St. Petersburg in September for the Group of 20 economic summit and also stop in Moscow for one-on-one talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But with Snowden seeking temporary asylum in Russia a request the U.S. strongly opposes the White House on Tuesday was ambiguous about the president's itinerary, according to Times Colonist. Asked whether that meant Obama was skipping Moscow, Carney would only say that he didn't have anything to add to "previous announcements on presidential travel." WASHINGTON - The White House is playing coy over President Barack Obama's travel plans to Russia this fall as Washington and Moscow negotiate the fate of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. "The president intends to travel to Russia in September for the G-20 Summit, and I don't have any further announcements with regard to that travel," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
