                         Obama to Visit Volatile Europe

   by Fern Robinson

   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. Obama will meet with 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 on Friday, 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 II.
