Presidency of Barack Obama

US President Barack Obama will August 3 unveil what he called the "biggest, most important step we've ever taken" to fight climate change, a sensitive issue central to his legacy.

The U.S. political battle over the Iran nuclear agreement has gone Hollywood, thanks to a new video strongly backing the deal featuring boldface names from Jack Black and Morgan Freeman to former spy Valerie Plame and Jordan's Queen Noor.

U.S. lawmakers skeptical about the nuclear deal with Iran promised to press senior Obama administration officials to make more information about it public at a Senate hearing on July 23 as Congress begins its two-month review of the agreement.

The June 25 Supreme Court decision helped solidify President Barack Obama's landmark health care law -- and galvanized every Republican 2016 presidential candidate in their vows to repeal it.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic will on Wednesday meet with National Security Advisor to U.S. President Barack Obama Susan Rice.

B92's reporter in Washington said that Vucic will hold a meeting with Rice, who has held the position of Obama's advisor since June 2013, and previously served as U.S. ambassador to the UN.

Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci and the EU commissioner for trade will sign a memorandum of understanding next week to draw framework of upgrading the Customs Union, EU Minister Volkan Bozk?r has stated, noting that one provision in the accord will automatically make Turkey part of any free trade agreement deal that the EU signs with a third party.

A protest against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, nicknamed "Beware of the Trojan Treaty," will be organised in Zagreb, Croatia, on Wednesday.

Like others around the EU, the protest in Zagreb aims to raise awareness of what activists claim is the harm that the TIPP will do to the interests of society.

The tenth consecutive round of negotiations between the EU and the US regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is set to start Monday in New York.

Talks continue as the proposal for an economic agreement was made more than two years ago. The idea behind it was for the biggest trade zone in the world to be created.

Two historical breakthroughs took place in U.S. foreign policy within the same week: An interim agreement between the world powers and Iran on its nuclear program on April 4 in Lausanne and U.S. President Barack Obama?s handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro on April 11 in Panama City.

Barack Obama and Raul Castro held the first face-to-face talks between US and Cuban leaders since 1956 in Panama on April 11, vowing to pursue their historic effort to bury Cold War-era enmity.
