Jay Carney: Obama

Obama: We are extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step despite our very clear and lawful requests in public and in private to have Mr. Snowden expelled, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday, according to 660 News. Asked whether Obama would still travel to Moscow, Carney said, We are evaluating the utility of a summit and WASHINGTON A highly anticipated summit between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin could be hurt by Moscows decision to grant temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, the White House signalled after weeks of pressuring for his return to face prosecution. Obama is scheduled to go to Russia in September for the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg and stop in Moscow for one-on-one talks with Putin. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
