President Bush back in Washington


(NECN) - President Bush is back in Washington Monday morning after a five day trip to the Middle East.

The President wrapped up his trip with a speech before the world economic forum in Egypt. Bush expressed optimism about an Israeli - Palestinian agreement. He also warned Iran not to develop any nuclear weapons.
