Obama urges Europe leaders to be forceful on economy
US President Barack Obama urged European leaders this week to take "forceful and decisive" action to confront current eurozone debt problems, White House spokesman Jay Carney said today.
Carney told reporters Obama told European leaders in conversations on the telephone and at the United Nations that he believed they "have the capacity and the wherewithal to confront the issues that confront them and he has encouraged them to take forceful and decisive action in just that."
Asked about global market turmoil, Carney said the White House was monitoring the situation but declined to make any specific comments.
