President Barack Obama directed U.S. officials to continue pressuring Iceland’s government to abide by the International Whaling Commission’s moratorium on whaling.
Senior officials and delegations meeting the representatives of the north Atlantic island’s government should be notified that cooperation with the U.S. is based “on the Icelandic government changing its whaling policy,” Obama wrote in a memo to his cabinet officers, released today by the White House.
