The US President Barack,Cameron Says Gadhafi Must Go
The America (US) President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron say military operations in Libya will continue until leader Moammar Gadhafi stops attacking civilians and gives up power.
Speaking in London Wednesday at a joint news conference, President Obama said there will not be a let-up in the pressure on Gadhafi. Cameron said Britain will be looking at all options for increasing that pressure. Both leaders said the goal is for the Libyan people to be able to choose their own future.
Obama said he believes the NATO campaign in Libya will ultimately be successful in wearing down the pro-Gadhafi forces, but said it will be a "slow and steady process."
Pressuring Syria
Obama said the U.S. and the European Union also are increasing pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose security forces have been attacking anti-government protesters.
Cameron said he and Obama will push at this week's Group of Eight summit in France for a major program of economic and political support for countries in the Middle East and North Africa seeking reform. The British leader said he and Obama agreed they will stand for those who work for freedom.
Parliament speech
Later Wednesday, Obama will speak to the British Parliament. Addressing both houses, Obama is expected to say that the U.S. and Europe must together play a lead role in global security.
His speech comes just a day before the Group of Eight summit in Deauville, France, where he will meet with other leaders of major industrialized countries.
On Tuesday, the U.S. president and Britain's Queen Elizabeth exchanged toasts to British-American friendship during a lavish banquet at Buckingham Palace.
Meeting newlyweds
US president Obama and his wife, Michelle, earlier in the day met privately with royal newlyweds Prince William and his wife, Catherine.
Obamas arrived Monday in London after a stop in Ireland. Obama heads to France Thursday and to Poland later this week for talks with Central European leaders.
