President Obama to appear on ’60 Minutes’

President Obama has agreed to sit for an interview with “60 Minutes” anchor Steve Kroft, CBS News announced on Thursday.

The interview, which will tape Friday and air on the Sunday broadcast of the show, will touch on issues both foreign and domestic, the network said. It will be the president’s first since the launch of airstrikes in Syria targeting Islamist militants.

Although presidential television interviews are relatively rare, Obama appeared on the inaugural show for “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd earlier this month.
