("国会众议院少数党领袖、来自加州的民主党籍众议员南希·佩洛西13日在达赖喇嘛公开演说的现场对观众表示，达赖喇嘛不仅会前往国会，接受议长和两党的欢迎，并召开会议，还有更令人兴奋的行程。她说：'我们知道，他（达赖喇嘛）也将会与奥巴马会面' ")

My comment: I find no news report about Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama. HOWEVER, Ms Pelosi does say what is ascribed to her. See

Press release: Pelosi Floor Remarks Welcoming His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Congress. Office of Nancy Pelosi, June 13, 2016
http://www.democraticleader.gov/ ... i-lama-to-congress/
("Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks today on the House floor welcoming His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Congress of the United States.  Below are the Leader's remarks")

Quote:

"As I mentioned earlier, he has friends on both sides of the aisle, on both sides of the Capitol, and also down Pennsylvania Avenue.  I remember with great pride when we presented His Holiness with a Congressional Gold Medal – again, great bipartisan support. President Bush came and not only that, bigger honor yet, Mrs Bush, Mrs Laura Bush, came as well.

"I talked earlier about President Bush coming to the [Congressional] Gold Medal Ceremony [on Oct 17, 2007], and I know that President [Obama] will be receiving His Holiness this week.  Presidents have done that over time, which is a source of great pride for us in our country and in the relationship between His Holiness and our presidents.  But it goes a long way back, and I will just close by saying: when His Holiness was a little boy, a very little boy and he became the Dalai Lama, he received a gift from the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  And he loved it because it was a watch and the watch had the phases of the moon.  Actually, my Apple watch has the phases of the sun – so this was 70 years ago, the phases of the moon and how prescient our President was – Franklin Delano Roosevelt – to send this little boy this watch, who would become so interested in science and thinking and the brain and faith what the connection was among all of those factors.  But again, the relationship between an American President and His Holiness the Dalai Lama goes back to when he was a little boy and it persists into his 80s now, something that, again, brings luster to us in our country that we have such a beautiful relationship with such a spiritual figure in the world.

(2) China Warns US on Visits by Dalai Lama, Taiwan President. Reuters, June 14, 2016.

("Asked if he would meet Obama during his three-day visit to Washington, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama told Reuters on Monday it was 'not finalised, but some friends say he may meet me' ")

Note: This report, or any other report, does not say President Obama will meet Ms Tsai Ing-wen. Come on, it is impossible.
