WASHINGTON - US PRESIDENT Barack Obama hopes to make a pilgrimage to the World War II D-Day invasion beaches in Normandy, France, when he visits Europe in April, an administration official said on Wednesday.
Mr Obama is due at the G-20 summit of developed and developing nations on April 2 in London, before heading to the Nato summit on the France-Germany border on April 3 and 4.
He is then expected to head to Prague for a European Union-US summit.
Despite a tight schedule, Mr Obama hopes to be able to pay homage to the sacrifice of US troops on the D-Day beaches in June 1944, the official said, though warned finding space between international summits was proving to be a challenge. -- AFP
