Trump Threatens Trade Cutoff with Spain

President Trump announced at the NATO summit that he had ordered a complete cutoff of trade with Spain, calling Madrid a 'terrible partner' and a 'wasted cause.' The dramatic escalation followed Spain's refusal to allow US bases on its territory to be used for strikes on Iran.

Trump later claimed Spain 'came back all the way' and was 'very generous,' suggesting the threat may have been a negotiating tactic.

The incident highlighted Trump's volatile approach to alliance diplomacy.
