US President George W. Bush on November 24 will welcome Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia to his Texas ranch, the White House announced. Bush met Tuesday at the White House with Spanish former conservative prime minister Jose Maria Aznar. But the US president has not yet met with new socialist Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who tried to contact him by phone to congratulate him on his reelection November 2, but did not get through.| Caller ID, it's a beautiful thing.< |
