stumbleupon U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday evening called Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, stressing that the United States is determined to "do everything possible" to support Japanese efforts to cope with the devastating earthquake and tsunami."The president emphasized that the U.S. is determined to do everything possible to support Japan in overcoming the effects of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11," the White House said in a statement.
It said Obama briefed Kan on the additional support being provided by the U.S., including "specialized military assets" with expertise in nuclear response and consequence management.
