Obama departs after three-day trip to India

Описание: (27 Jan 2015) US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama departed New Delhi on Tuesday following a three-day visit during which they celebrated India's Republic Day, the anniversary of India's democratic constitution taking force in 1950.
Obama was scheduled to visit the Taj Mahal, but cut short the final day of his trip to travel to Saudi Arabia instead, where he will pay respects to the royal family there following King Abdullah's death.
Obama's four-hour stop in Saudi Arabia was to include a meeting with new monarch King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud and a dinner with other Saudi officials.
US Secretary of State John Kerry was due to join Obama in Riyadh, along with former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and James Baker, both of whom served Republican presidents.
Former White House national security advisers Brent Scowcroft, Sandy Berger and Stephen Hadley were also making the trip, as was Senator John McCain.
Several lawmakers who travelled with Obama to India, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, were also joining him in Saudi Arabia.
