奥巴马出访动荡不定的欧洲 Obama to Visit Volatile Europe

PlayBar
美国总统奥巴马本星期将开始对欧洲的四天访问。他定于星期一晚上离开华盛顿，出访波兰、比利时和法国。

在奥巴马总统准备出访欧洲之际，俄罗斯针对乌克兰采取了具有威胁意味的行动。人们不能确定，乌克兰当选总统波罗申科是否有能力维持国家稳定。奥巴马将在波兰会见波罗申科。

奥巴马星期三和星期四将出席在布鲁塞尔举行的七国集团会议，与美国盟友进行磋商。七国集团成员国领导人决定抵制俄罗斯原定于本星期主持的一次会议，随后很快安排召开七国集团会议。

星期五，奥巴马将在法国诺曼底奥马哈海滩举行的盟军二战诺曼底登陆70周年纪念仪式上发表演讲。
 
U.S. President Barack Obama embarks on a four-day trip to Europe this week.  He leaves Washington Monday night for stops in Poland, Belgium and France.
 
The U.S. leader's trip to Europe comes at a time when Russia has made threatening moves on Ukraine.  There is also deep uncertainty about Ukraine President-elect Petro Poroshenko's ability to stabilize his country.  Mr. Obama will meet with Mr. Poroshenko in Poland.
 
President Obama will confer with U.S. allies Wednesday and Thursday in Brussels at a Group of Seven meeting that was quickly arranged after leaders decided to boycott a meeting Russia had been scheduled to host this week.
 
In France Friday, Mr. Obama will speak in Normandy at Omaha Beach for a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the allied D-Day invasion against Nazi forces in World War Two.
