Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday it was important that U.S.
President Barack Obama overcame a political crisis at home as soon as possible
for the sake of the global economy.
Speaking at a conference on the sidelines of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
meetings, Mr. Putin said he believed that all APEC leaders gathered in
Bali
wished Mr. Obama success in tackling the turmoil.
As the world's biggest economy with the largest reserve currency, a lot depends
on how stable it feels, he said, adding that he felt Mr. Obama's absence from
the Bali meetings was justified.
"It is a difficult situation," Mr. Putin said. "If I were him, I
wouldn't have come as well...and any leader of a state would have done
this."
The White House announced Friday that Mr. Obama was canceling trips to
Brunei
and
Indonesia
amid
the extended budget fight with Congress that has led to a partial shutdown of
the
U.S.
government. He had previously called off stops in
Malaysia
and
the
Philippines
.
