U.S. President, Italian PM to hold talks in Washington next month

PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. President Barack Obama will meet at the White House next month with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

According to the Associated Press, the White House said their April 17 meeting will cover a broad range of global issues. Likely topping the list is support for Ukraine and continued unity by the U.S. and European Union on pressuring rebellion in eastern Ukraine to abide by the terms of a recently negotiated peace accord.

Other likely topics of discussion include Libya, the international effort to counter the Islamic State threat, economic developments in Europe, a pending trade pact between the U.S. and European nations, climate change and energy security.

Obama and Renzi first met when the president traveled to Italy last year.
