President Donald Trump has said he is cutting off all trade deals with Spain, after they refused to allow U.S. forces to use their airbases for operations against Iran.
The dispute underscores rising tensions between the U.S. administration and a key NATO ally, highlighting disagreements over military strategy, international law, and the use of allied bases.
Analysts say the move could have economic and diplomatic repercussions, given Spain’s role as both a trading partner and strategic hub for U.S. operations in Europe and the Middle East.
