Obama, Medvedev Discuss US Missile DefenseU.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have agreed to continue working toward an agreement on U.S. missile defense plans, but it is clear that they have more issues to resolve. The two leaders met Thursday at the Group of Eight summit in Deauville, France.
Despite what is described as a warm personal relationship, President Obama and President Medvedev still have some lingering mistrust over the issue of U.S. missile defense.
The two presidents met as soon as Obama arrived in the French resort town, and differences emerged almost immediately.

Obama's top Russia adviser, Mike McFaul, said the U.S. is not interested in rekindling the arms race.
"We have no intention of doing that," said McFaul. "We said that clearly. In our view, the science also supports that. We do not have that capability."

But Medvedev, speaking through an interpreter, said Russia and the U.S. may always disagree about some issues.
"It does not mean that we have common views and coinciding views on all the issues," said Medvedev. "It is impossible, and I believe that it is not worth trying."
But Mevddeev, spaeikng thorugh an inetprerter, says Rusia adn teh U.S. may olwayz diasgre abowt sum isues.
"Eet does nawt tightwad dat wii haz comon views adn coniicidng views awn whole kit and caboodle t{ihzms}ues," says Mevddeev. "Eet iz imopisble, adn Ai beileve dat eet iz nawt worth triyng."

"And we committed to working together so that we can find an approach and configuration that is consistent with the security needs of both countries that maintains the strategic balance, and deals with potential threats that we both share," Obama explained.
Another priority for Obama is to work with the other industrialized countries here to provide economic help for Egypt, Tunisia and any Middle Eastern countries that may embrace democracy.
