US, Greek leaders' talks to cover economy

US President Barack Obama and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will make economic matters a significant part of their talks in Washington on Tuesday, the White House said on Monday.

"Economic issues will be an important part of the discussion," White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One headed for Obama's healthcare event in Pennsylvania. Burton declined to provide specifics of the White House meeting agenda, which comes amid Greece's debt crisis. (Reuters)
