On his seventy-second day in office, President Obama met with the leaders of China, Russia, and Britain while in London for the G20 summit.

It was one of the president's busiest days yet, one that included everything from reopening talks on nuclear disarmament with Russia to giving the Queen of England an iPod.

He also held a press conference with British leader Gordon Brown and met with Chinese President Hu Jintao, whose country has been pushing for an international reserve currency against U.S. objections.

The president also agreed to further meetings with the Russian and Chinese leaders and went to a working dinner at 10 Downing Street to officially kick off the G20.
