Obama phones Harper

Barack Obama called Prime Minister Stephen Harper today to discuss the auto industry, the economy, environment, energy and Afghanistan. Barack Obama has already committed to making Canada his first foreign visit and there are a lot of key issues between our countries that need to be discussed between the two leaders. It is expected that he will meet with Stephen Harper sometime in late March or early April assuming the budget passes. Overall it is good to see Obama make Canada one of his first priorities for a phone call and it is also great to see both leaders already working together to address the economy.

Obama phones British, Canadian and Saudi leaders

2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has phoned the leaders of Canada, Britain and Saudi Arabia.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday that Obama had talked that morning with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, British Prime Minster Gordon Brown and Saudi King Abdullah.

Obama plans to make his first international trip as president to Canada, a key ally that shares a border with the United States. The trip will keep with tradition, with most U.S. president making Canada their first stop.

Britain and Saudi Arabia also are longtime allies of the United States.

Earlier this week, Obama talked with Israeli, Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian leaders about the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
