Trump calls Spain “terrible partner,” threatens to cut off all trade
President Donald Trump has said that Spain is a “terrible partner” in NATO and threatened to cut off all U.S. trade with the country.
“Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don’t participate. They don’t pay. I don’t want anything to do with Spain,” Trump said at the NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday.
Addressing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trump added: “Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits… I don’t want to do any more trade with them. All right, take it immediately.”
Trump also reiterated his criticism of NATO over its lack of support for the U.S. during the war in Iran.
