WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will be leaving this morning on a trip that will take them to the United Kingdom and eventually to four other countries.

It’s Obama’s first trip to Europe as president.

The main event of the eight-day trip will be Thursday’s G20 Summit in London, where leaders will address the global financial meltdown.



While in London, the Obamas will have an audience with Queen Elizabeth II.
