Trump says US ending trade with Spain over Nato spending and base access

Описание: President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that he is ending all trade with Spain after Madrid prohibited the US from using its military bases to conduct attacks on Iran in coordination with Israel.

Trump claimed that the US could use the base if it chose to, but has opted not to. He also expressed his frustration with the Spanish government regarding Nato spending, declaring that the US no longer wants “anything to do with Spain.”

His comments came after the Spanish government said on Monday that the US has not used nor will be allowed to use Spanish military bases for attacks against Iran.
