Few disputes cloud U.S.-German relations these days, but the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may be raised during President Bush's visit to this former communist Eastern Bloc region.

Bush was staying in this northeastern German resort town alongside the Baltic Sea before a tour Thursday of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's old neighborhood. Bush and Merkel were to hold talks in the port city of Stralsund, and later have dinner in the small town of Trinwillershagen.

Anti-Bush protesters had gathered ahead of Bush's visit, but thousands of police were keeping them away from the areas Bush will tour.

Bush and Merkel have had an increasingly warm relationship since November when she succeeded former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who opposed Bush on the Iraq war.

However, Merkel has criticized keeping terror suspects in detention in the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay.
