Sarkozy heads home after talks with Obama

US: French President Nicolas Sarkozy left the White House late Tuesday bound for home after talks and a private dinner with President Barack Obama, a French official said.

Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy headed to Andrews Air Force base outside Washington for their flight back to Paris following a two-day trip to the United States, the source said.

No details were released on the private two-hour dinner between the Sarkozys and Obamas, the first between the two leaders since the US President's inauguration more than one year ago. Following their one-hour-plus Oval Office meeting Tuesday, Sarkozy and Obama stood shoulder to shoulder, calling for swift new UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear enrichment program and seeking to put an end to years of US-French tensions.
