Obama to make last trip to Europe

The White House said Obama would travel to Warsaw on July 7-9 for "his fifth and final summit with NATO leaders," before making his first trip to Spain.

During his nearly eight years in office, Obama has at times had difficult relationships with America's oldest allies. For most of his first term, Europe was frustratingly slow to contain sovereign debt crises that were fed by and prolonged the Great Recession.
