The topic of the meeting is expected to be, “the acute threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters.” Following the killing of American journalist James Foley by a self-proclaimed member of ISIS, video of which was posted online Tuesday, that topic is particularly timely.
The meeting, scheduled for the week of Sept. 22, will be a Head of Government-level meeting, the first since 2009. Obama hosted that meeting as well, focusing largely on the topic of non-proliferation.
