Blair to meet Bush Friday London (AFP) Jul 24, 2006 British Prime Minister Tony Blair will fly to Washington on Friday for talks with US President George W. Bush, his spokesman confirmed Monday, with Israel's offensive in Lebanon high on the agenda. After his talks with Bush, Blair will travel to the country's west coast. "He will meet on Friday President Bush and visit San Francisco and LA (Los Angeles)," the prime minister's official spokesman told reporters, without providing details on the reason for the California stop. The trip will be Blair's second to the White House in less than two months. On Friday, the White House said the two allies would use the meeting to discuss the Middle East crisis and other world troublespots, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Sudan's western Darfur region. Bush and Blair last held talks in Washington on May 26, which were then focused on Iraq. The international community is now confronted with fresh Middle East violence as Israel bombs Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, leaving more than 360 dead and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.
