U.S. President Barack Obama Arrives in London Ahead of G20 Summit

U.S. President Barack Obama has arrived in London ahead of the G20 summit scheduled to begin on Thursday. Prior to the summit’s start Obama is scheduled to hold talks with UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, meet with opposition leader David Cameron as well as the Queen.

Tuesday’s arrival marks the first major trip Obama has undertaken since being sworn in as 44^th President of the United States in January. While the focus of his trip will be on the G20 summit and more specifically the outlining of tougher regulations for the global financial market Obama will also be meeting with several world leaders in a series of bi-lateral talks.

Obama appears to have the support of Brown concerning the approach to the financial crisis that has devastated the economies of several countries but they could be facing mounting opposition from other European countries who have questioned the logic of continued spending implemented by the United States.

Sharp criticism has been hurled at Obama for his insistence that Europe continue to push spending initiatives as a means of stimulating the global economy. One of Obama’s sharpest critics has been French President Nicolas Sarkozy who is said to be prepared to walk away from the summit if stronger financial regulations aren’t part of the solution. Neither Obama nor brown have been in favor of such a measure.

Despite their differences Obama and Sarkozy are scheduled to meet on Friday as the U.S. president travels to Strasbourg following the summit’s conclusion. Obama will then head to Germany to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel before returning to Strasbourg for a NATO summit on Saturday. On Sunday Obama will attend an EU-U.S. summit in Prague. He will then travel to the Turkish capital of Ankara before heading back to the U.S. on Monday.
