0:21Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to “cut off all trade with Spain” after the country denied access to its military bases for his bombing campaign against Iran. #iran #politics #trump #israel #worldnews #spain
“I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain,” Trump said Tuesday during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House.
Trump did not explain how he planned to follow through with that threat, which could prove particularly difficult since the US has a trading relationship with the broader European Union. Later, he suggested he had the power to impose a full embargo on goods from the country, though did not indicate explicitly that he planned to do so.
“Spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people,” Trump said. “They have great people, but they don’t have great leadership.”
