President Barack Obama is back in the US after a trip that took him to Mexico and Costa Rica over three days.

Air Force One arrived at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base, outside of Washington, about 6:45 EDT (2245 GMT) Saturday night. Obama had left the US last Thursday.

In Mexico, Obama cheered advances in that nation's economy and voiced his support for an overhaul of US immigration policies.

While visiting Costa Rica, the president urged leaders in Central American to integrate their economies, reduce their high energy costs and confront violence in the region. (AP)
