Bush to Discuss Energy Prices, Economy at EU Summit (2/2)

President Bush has made clear he is eager to talk about Iran's nuclear program. And as he left the White House, he left no doubt he wants to talk to the Europeans about stepping up their commitment to the young democracy in Afghanistan.

"The countries I am going to have committed troops to Afghanistan, and I, of course, want to thank them, and remind them there is a lot of work to be done." White House officials say they expect no dramatic announcements following the president's talks with European Union leaders in Slovenia, which currently holds the six-month rotating E.U. presidency.

In addition to Slovenia's prime minister, European Union participants in the talks will include European Commission President Jose Barroso, and E.U. security chief Javier Solana.

Experts in trans-Atlantic relations say they have seen a shift in President Bush's attitude toward dealings with Europe that is bearing fruit at the end of his term.

布什总统已经清楚表明他迫切希望讨论伊朗核项目。而且，当他离开白宫时曾明确表示，他想对欧洲人说，他们应为帮助阿富汗还不成熟的民主承担更多的义务。

“我将访问的这些国家向阿富汗派遣了部队。我当然要感谢他们，并且提醒他们还有很多工作要做。”

白宫官员说他们预计总统在斯洛文尼亚与欧盟领导人谈话后不会有惊人的表示。目前轮到斯洛文尼亚任欧盟主席，任期六个月。

除了斯洛文尼亚总理，参与谈话的还包括欧盟执行委员会主席若则•巴罗佐，欧盟安全政策高级代表哈维尔•索拉纳。

研究大西洋两岸关系的专家说他们发现了布什总统对欧洲交易的态度变化，这个变化使得他在任期将满的时候收获颇丰。
