This will be Obama's first major meeting with Latin American leaders, at a gathering in which Cuba will be the only country from the Americas without representation.

McKenzie was clad in a T-shirt with Obama's face.
"It's a good thing that he's coming," the woman told dpa, the German news agency. "I wish he was our new prime minister here."
