According to the paper, President Obama is scheduled to meet with the king of Spain and with the acting president, Mariano Rajoy. The two leaders surely addressed current issues that affect both countries, including the general elections in Spain, where the party of Mariano Rajoy was the big winner (although not gain a majority in parliament and not being able to form a government), and future US presidential election, to be held in November this year.

Another topic to be discussed at the meeting will be the results of the referendum in the UK, which endorsed the output of that country in the European Union, and that can change the political landscape across the continent. In addition, the heads of state presumably addressing the problem of global terrorism and how to fight organizations like Daesh (banned in Russia and other countries).
it is also expected that the presidents discussed bilateral relations between the two countries, which seem to go at its best. Obama’s visit joins his wife, Michelle Obama, who was in late June in Madrid, where he launched the ‘Let Girls Learn’ initiative (Let the girls learn) by the Queen of Spain, Letizia Ortiz, Spanish and other senior positions.
Obama will arrive in Spain on July 9, after the NATO meeting in Warsaw completed, and also plans a visit to the naval base of Rota in Cadiz. This is the first visit by a US president to Spain since George W. Bush was in the Iberian country in June 2001.
