Schloss Elmau

Biden was supposed to speak today at the final session of the G7 leaders' meeting in the German castle of Elmau, in the Bavarian Alps, before he flew to Munich by helicopter, and from there it was planned to take a presidential plane to Madrid for the NATO Summit.

No “Russian bear” was in sight as US President Barack Obama savored Bavaria’s finest beer and sausages accompanied by host Angela Merkel on Sunday. Yet the “Greek issue” did later crop up in the otherwise sunny surroundings.
The White House quoted Obama as saying he is hopeful Greece and its partners will be able to chart this course without causing volatility in financial markets.
