In this Nov. 16, 2007 file photo, President Bush, right, walks with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington.  There are fewer than 200 days left in the Bush presidency, a major factor hanging over the meetings involving leaders from Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada at a Group of Eight summit in Toyako, that begin Monday on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.  Atop the agenda is reaching a deal that would set targets for reducing the pollution that causes global warming. Fukuda, would like to emerge with an agreement on 50 percent overall reductions in greenhouse gases by 2050.  The Jefferson Memorial can be seen in the background. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)AP - Global challenges like soaring oil prices and the Earth's rising temperature await President Bush at a summit of top industrialized nations, but first he must soothe emotions on a sensitive Japanese issue that's entangled in the nuclear standoff with North Korea.
