Socialist Prime Minister Zapatero, who angered Bush by pulling Spain's troops out of Iraq earlier this year, "has tried to reach out" to the U.S. president since last week's election, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters on Wednesday.
But Bush has yet to return the call. "Calls are scheduled at times that are mutually convenient. Some calls are able to be scheduled quicker than others," McClellan explained.

Bush was a close ally of Spain's conservative prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, before Zapatero swept to power.
While Bush has yet to take Zapatero's call, the White House said he had a "private meeting" with Aznar at the White House on Tuesday.
