President Barack Obama met with Spanish King Juan Carlos I at the White House yesterday.
The two discussed American and Middle Eastern events, the AFP reported. In particular, they discussed Cuba and Venezuela, as well as the post-earthquake Haiti.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor James Jones also attended the meeting.
King Juan Carlos I apparently was miffed after Obama announced that he would not attend a U.S.-European Union summit that the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez had made a priority.
The Associated Press reported that the White House did not say whether the skipped date was discussed.
Obama "highlighted his interest in strengthening our partnership with Spain," the AP reported.
Before meeting with the president, King Juan Carlos was busy visiting Spanish troops in Lebanon.
