Obama's diplomacy being tested in Russia
MOSCOW –
President Barack Obama
opened his first Moscow summit with confidence on Monday, predicting
"extraordinary progress" out of meetings set to test his diplomatic
skills on important priorities such as nuclear arsenal reductions and
the fight in
Afghanistan.
"The United States and Russia have more in common than they have differences," Obama said he sat down in an ornate Kremlin room with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
"If we work hard in these next few days ... we can make extraordinary
progress that will benefit the people of both countries."
