President Donald Trump is threatening to cut off trade with Spain. He's citing a lack of support over the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and the European nation’s resistance to increase its NATO spending.
It is unclear how Trump would cut off trade with Spain, given that Spain is under the umbrella of the European Union. The EU negotiates trade deals on behalf of all 27 member countries.
“If the U.S. administration wishes to review the trade agreement, it must do so respecting the autonomy of private companies, international law, and bilateral agreements between the European Union and the United States,” a spokesperson from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s office said Tuesday.
This part is completely unhinged as well, but I guess it’s just what we expect now
Trump said despite Spain’s refusal “we could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it, but we don’t have to.”
I hope bullshit comments like that, finally convince the Spanish government to remove US bases from the country.
It’s been a bit of a debate for a while, that might just tip the balance.
