"What (Obama)
told me is let's see if we form a government, because he is keen
to visit Spain," Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo told reporters
after meeting Obama at a dinner on Friday night for a nuclear
security summit.
Margallo said Obama had been considering a trip in July, but
given Spain could return to the polls the month before, the
president would prefer to wait. George W. Bush, Obama's
predecessor, was the last U.S. president to visit Spain in 2001.
