G-20 Summit
SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico (AP) - President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin need one another, an uncomfortable truth for the superpower leader facing a tough re-election and the newly elected Russian leader who is deeply suspicious of the United States.

"I expect that it will be a candid discussion, it will get down to business," White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said ahead of the lengthy morning meeting between Obama and Putin.
"We'll be able to sustain cooperation in some areas, we'll have differences in other areas, and we'll work to try to bridge those differences." MORE
