Obama to hold end-of-year news conference
President Obama will close out 2014 with his traditional end-of-year press conference.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. ET., and it's bound to be eventful because Obama has a lot to talk about.
Among the news events that will likely come up:
-- The normalization of diplomatic relations with Cuba. -- Obama's unilateral actions to delay the deportation of some 4 million immigrants. -- The Sony hack and whether North Korea had anything to do with it. -- The fight against the Islamic State. -- The end of U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan at the end of the year. -- The protests in Ferguson, Missouri. -- The political realities of a Senate and House controlled by the GOP. -- His views on the Senate's "torture report." NPR will air live coverage of the press conference and we'll blog it. Afterward, Obama will head to Hawaii for a vacation with his family. Copyright 2019 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
