Greece is looking to other euro zone members to defuse its debt crisis, and Germany will play a key role in charting a solution, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Tuesday.
At a joint conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Obama also said the United States would cooperate in efforts to address Greece's problems, including through the International Monetary Fund.
Merkel, in turn, said the euro zone had a common interest in ensuring its currency bloc is not endangered by the debt crisis and stressed she was confident that Washington would shoulder its fiscal responsibilities just as Europe is doing.
