The comments came as the US president welcomed leaders for the largest gathering in the US since the Second World War. Mr Obama and leaders from 45 other nations have met at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, as the president attempts to convince his counterparts that they face the same threat.

"They are prepared to work with us," said Jeff Bader, Mr Obama's top official responsible for East Asia on the National Security Council.


"The two presidents agreed the two delegations should work together on sanctions," he said.
US-Chinese relations received a boost as Chinese premier Mr Hu stressed the need for dialogue with Iran over its nuclear programme and told Mr Obama that Beijing would work with Washington on the matter, a Chinese official said.
"China and the United States share the same overall goal on the Iranian nuclear issue," said Ma Zhaoxu, spokesman for the Chinese delegation to an unprecedented nuclear summit, after a meeting of the two leaders in the US capital.
"China hopes that various parties will continue to step up diplomatic efforts and actively seek effective ways to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations," he added.
He said Beijing was still prepared to take part in the negotiations with the five other world powers making up the P5+1 group handling the talks with Iran - alongside Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
The talks between Mr Hu and Mr Obama were the first since relations took a downturn earlier this year, and shows the two sides are seeking to turn the corner on months of bickering.
"The two sides should properly resolve economic and trade frictions through consultations on an equal footing and jointly uphold the larger interest of China-US economic cooperation and trade," Mr Ma said.
The chill set in after Mr Obama visited Mr Hu in Beijing last November, over issues including the value of the yuan, trade and Internet freedom.
A surprise visit to Beijing last week by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who opted to discuss some of the trouble spots in person after pushing back a potentially sensitive report, also served to soothe tensions.
Mr Ma described Monday's talks as "candid" and "cordial," adding it was "a positive and constructive meeting."
"It is important for the two sides to work together to increase dialogue, enhance mutual trust and expand cooperation and continue to move China-US relations forward," he added.
Mr Obama and Mr Hu met as Russian president Dmitry Medvedev arrived in the US to take part in the summit.
Mr Medvedev and Mr Obama last week signed a landmark accord to slash their nuclear warheads by a third, in what has been hailed as a major breakthrough in bilateral ties.
In an interview released earlier Monday, the Russian leader praised Obama as a "comfortable partner," saying they had met a total of 16 times.
"The most important thing that distinguishes him from many other people - I won't name anyone by name - he's a thinker, he thinks when he speaks," Medvedev told ABC television.
