Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is spending nearly three weeks in the United States on a visit that's expected to include a medical checkup.
Talabani arrived in Minnesota last night. He laughingly said he was going to the U.S. "to lose weight and have some rest and relaxation,” but a Senior Kurdish Politician has said Talabani would go for a checkup at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
An appointment has been scheduled for weeks.
Talabani was admitted to King Hussein Medical Center in Jordan last February after he collapsed.
Doctors say he suffered from exhaustion and dehydration caused by lung and sinus infections. He returned home 17 days later.
