On June 9, 2006, President Bush welcomed Prime Minister Rasmussen and his family to Camp David. The invitation to come to Camp David, Bush said, “is an expression of my high regard for Prime Minister Rasmussen and our friendship between our two countries.”
During their one hour meeting, the two leaders discussed issues such as Iran, Afghanistan, Guantanamo and strategies in Iraq. President Bush said “I appreciate the Prime Minister's belief that freedom can help change the world, and that freedom is universal. We had a really important discussion about our desire to help others realize the great blessings of liberty, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prime Minister Rasmussen has been a strong believer in supporting the Iraqi government's desire to live in democracy. I thank you for your courage, I thank you for your country's commitment of troops that are helping make a difference.”
