Taking advantage of his German visit, President Barack Obama and top US allies are gathering to discuss issues that he says are putting European unity “under strain.”
Monday’s meeting in Hannover, Germany, comes on the final day of Obama’s two-day visit to push for the conclusion of negotiations on a US-Europe trade deal.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi were joining Obama.
