Aftenposten, quoting the White House, says Prsident Obama has decided to attend the closing sessions of the Copenhagen Summit, and arrive there on December 18th.

Original plans called for Obama to travel to Copenhagen for the opening of the Summit, and then travel on to Oslo on the evening of Wednesday, December the 9th, and then return to Washington sometime Friday. According to the new plan, he will now arrive in Oslo early Thursday morning.

This will mean that President Obama will make a new trip to Europe to attend the closing sessions of the Climate Summit on December 17th and 18th.

Earlier, on Friday, public broadcaster NRK reported that the US President's scheduled international press conference in Oslo on Thursday had been cancelled.
