Belmopan, Belize 21 April - (BelizeBlog.com) Three days after the Belize News Blog Belizean broke the story, a Belize T.V. station has confirmed that U.S. President Barack Obama wants to visit Belize. In today's broadcast, TV7 which has close connections to Belize's United Democratic Party, reported that: US President Barack Obama and Belize's Prime Minister Dean Barrow shared a table at the official Summit of the Americas dinner in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Saturday night and it seems they hit it off. This picture of President Obama kissing Prime Minister Dean Barrow's wife, Kim Simplis-Barrow taken at that event made the paper in Trinidad and has also appeared on the internet, most notably the much-trafficked blog, the Huffington Post.
Today's Amandala cites Prime Minister Barrow saying that, quote, "He said that he'd love to come to Belize." And more than that, he says that President Obama will nominate a very good friend to be ambassador to Belize and, quote, "that will make it easier for him to work on the logistics of coming to Belize.
