Geithner visits Europe with limited leverage: analysts

US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner begins a high-profile round of shuttle diplomacy to help save the eurozone Tuesday, but experts warn he brings to Europe only a few imperfect tools to influence events.

President Barack Obama has described the crisis wracking Europe having "huge importance to our own economy" and has vowed the United States will do its part to stop the rot.
