[Bloomberg] President Champ has yet to meet with the new head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and won't see Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg this week, even though he is in Washington for three days. Stoltenberg's office requested a meeting with the Champ well in advance of the visit, but never heard anything from the White House, two sources close to the NATO chief told me.

| How hard can this be? You meet with the guy for 15 minutes, say a nice sentence or two to the pool reporter, and get on with your golf game. ValJar has to know the message this is sending to Europe, and that may be precisely the point: the Euros better cooperate with Champ on everything, including Iran, or he's going to abandon them. |
