Trump Orders Halt to Trade with Spain over Iran Actions
U.S. President Donald Trump issued a directive to halt all trade transactions with Spain, a NATO member, due to disagreements over defense spending and Spain's refusal to meet alliance targets, particularly regarding the percentage of GDP allocated to defense. This announcement was made during the NATO summit in Ankara, where Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with Spain's refusal to allow the use of its bases in the conflict with Iran. He also confirmed that there are no trade relations with Spain and instructed the Treasury Department to compile a list of products that may be subject to bans. Spain remains one of the largest exporters of olive oil to the United States, and tensions between the two countries are escalating significantly.
