First Couple Add Stop to July Trip

Will travel to Ghana after Russia, Italy.

A month after the president's historic address in Egypt, he and Michelle will travel to Moscow July 6-8 for a summit with President Medvedev focusing on reducing nuclear weapons and strengthening ties. Next the Obamas travel to earthquake-ravaged L'Aquila, Italy, for a G-8 summit. From there they'll go to Accra, Ghana for talks on bilateral and regional issues with President Mills.
