Trump orders trade halt with Spain, demands Greenland takeover at NATO summit
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a suspension of all trade with Spain, used harsh language to describe the country, and called for U.S. control of Greenland during the NATO summit. He also made additional claims about Spain’s defense spending and airspace use, which Spain disputed, and declared the Iran ceasefire ended.
President Donald Trump ordered a halt to all trade with Spain during the NATO summit and described the country as a "terrible partner," a "wasted cause," and "hopeless, bad people." He also demanded that the United States take over Greenland.
Trump said Spain had not agreed to NATO’s defense‑spending target of 5 percent of GDP, according to Bluesky, and claimed that Spain’s leadership refused to let the United States use its airspace or bases for the Iran war, as reported by Al Arabiya.
Spain said there was no tension and that its relationship with Washington remained positive, according to the South China Morning Post.
Trump declared the fragile ceasefire with Iran to be over, as reported by Global News.
