CAMERON AND OBAMA DISCUSS BP OIL SPILL
Baku, June 12 (AZERTAC). David Cameron and US President Barack Obama have had "warm and substantive" discussions about the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, the BBC understands.
In the phone call, the prime minister expressed sadness at the environmental damage from the BP-owned leaking well.
Mr Obama said he recognised BP was multinational, adding that frustrations were not about nationality.
Some UK businessmen have accused the US of "anti-British" language following Mr Obama`s blunt criticism of BP.
BBC business editor Robert Peston has said BP is likely to bow to US pressure and suspend dividends to shareholders.
The oil giant confirmed its directors will meet on Monday to discuss the possibility.
