American President Barrack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrived this morning in Strasbourg for a meeting with France President sarkozy. Then they're off to Baden-baden, Germany for a meeting with our German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Strasbourg is 25 minutes drive from our place and baden-baden is 30 minutes. French and German police are bracing themselves for the NATO meetings with massive security precautions. Military helicopters are also flying around the area and police boats patrolling around rhine river between strasbourg and kehl. Around 15,000 german police and 9,000 french police are on duty to manage the crowd during the protest.
Tomorrow, President Obama will be back in Strasbourg for the NATO event where the war in Afghanistan will command attention. The American President is pursuing a new strategy in the war and looking to NATO leaders to commit new combat forces and other help.
The sad news is that the Philippines was among four countries blacklisted as uncooperative tax haven. At the request of G20 summit of rich and developing nations, the OECA named our country, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Malaysia territory of Labuan as the worst offenders saying that they refused to adopt the new rules of financial openness.
