Obama, Malaysia prime minister discuss missing jet
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — President Barack Obama says he and Malaysia's prime minister are discussing "lessons learned" in the wake of the disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines jetliner.
Obama says the U.S. will continue providing all the assistance possible in the search for the plane that hasn't been seen since it left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing seven weeks ago.
Obama was speaking at a press conference Sunday with the prime minister of Malaysia after a private meeting. He says they talked about how nations can improve cooperation on searches going forward.
The Boeing 777 was carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese.
The Malaysian government has been criticized for mismanaging the search, now focused in the Indian Ocean off Australia.
Relatives of the passengers protested outside the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing in the past week.
