This seemed inevitable but regrettable.
WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on
Thursday scrapped his trip to Indonesia and Australia scheduled
for next week to focus on the final push for a U.S. healthcare
overhaul, the White House said.
"The president regrets the delay," White House spokesman Robert
Gibbs told reporters, saying the Indonesia visit would be reset
for June. He said Obama, who had been due to leave on Sunday for
the South Pacific, had called Indonesian President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono and planned to phone Australian Prime Minister
Kevin Rudd.
