ROME (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama urged NATO allies on Thursday to get their defence budgets on an upward trajectory with "everybody pitching in" as he wounded up a day of meetings with Vatican and Italian officials.
At a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Obama welcomed an International Monetary Fund aid package for Ukraine, calling it a major step forward that should help stabilise Ukraine's economy as it prepares for elections in May.
