(ROUGH CUT -- NO REPORTER NARRATION)

U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in the Mexican resort town of Los Cabos on Sunday, on the eve of a Group of 20 summit expected to be dominated by a spiralling debt crisis in the euro zone.

Obama will press European leaders this week to resolve their debt crisis but the United States does not expect much progress before the end of the month, a White House adviser said on Sunday ahead of Obama's arrival.

Obama will participate in a two-day summit of Group of 20 leaders that starts in Mexico on Monday. He has called on European leaders to recapitalize weak banks and to focus on economic growth and not just budget austerity.
