WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama plans to visit Europe and the Middle East this summer. Obama's presidential campaign tells The Associated Press that likely Democratic nominee will visit Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
The trip comes as the first-term senator from Illinois tries to convince voters that he has the foreign policy experience to be president.
Obama also has said he intends to go to Iraq and Afghanistan this summer. His campaign would not say if those planned stops are part of the trip announced Saturday.
Obama's advisers would not disclose the dates of his travel to Europe and the Middle East, citing security concerns.
