None — Eyewitness News anchor Natalie Pasquarella was one of only three local television reporters in the country allowed sit-down access with President Barack Obama Friday, on the eve of his trip to Latin America.
Pasquarella traveled to the White House for a one-on-one interview with the president Friday afternoon. They discussed his desire to strengthen relationships between Charlotte companies and those in Brazil. One company they discussed as an example was Charlotte-based Rhino Assembly Corporation, which began exporting to Brazil less than a year ago. In that time, the company has seen its export business grow from $10,000 to $1 million annually.

Pasquarella also asked why the president felt Charlotte was the right city for the Democratic National Convention. Among the reasons he cited: "I just love North Carolina. I love the people. I love the weather."
WSOC-TV will air Pasquarella's interview with the president on Eyewitness News starting at 5 p.m. Monday.
