(VOVworld) - US President Barack Obama will visit Poland and Spain in July, in what will likely be his final trip to Europe, the White House announced on Tuesday. Obama will travel to Warsaw on July 7-9 for "his fifth and final summit with NATO leaders," before his first trip to Spain.

His discussions in Warsaw will focus on the fight against the Islamic State, Russia's continued testing of NATO resolve in eastern and central Europe, and control of migrant influx through the Mediterranean. President Obama will hold bilateral talks with Poland's President Andrzej Duda to "reaffirm the American commitment to Poland's security and exchange views on the security environment in Europe”. He will also hold talks with EU leaders to accelerate negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, although a breakthrough before he leaves office seems unlikely.
In Spain, Obama will meet the acting president. Its citizens will go to polls on June 26th to vote in Spain’s second general election in six months.
