Obama cancels holiday to return to Washington

Obama cancels holiday to return to Washington

YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS. President Obama planned a break in the middle of his Martha's Vineyard vacation to return to Washington for meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers on the U.S. military campaign in Iraq and tensions between police and protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, informs “Armenpress”. He's received multiple briefings on both issues while on vacation. The White House had also already announced Obama's plans to return to Washington before the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq began and before the shooting of a teen in Ferguson that sparked protests.

Part of the decision to head back to Washington appears aimed at countering criticism that Obama is spending two weeks on a resort island in the midst of so many foreign and domestic crises.
