Spain reacted firmly after American President Donald Trump criticized the country's defense spending and threatened a trade embargo. The Spanish government stated that it meets NATO commitments and has resources to limit the impact of a potential embargo. Madrid emphasized the importance of respecting international law and bilateral trade agreements. Trump accused Spain of unacceptable behavior, especially for refusing to allow the use of its bases for attacks on Iran. He also demanded that all NATO members spend 5% of their GDP on defense. In the context of tensions, Spain reaffirmed its commitment to free trade and economic cooperation, insisting that prosperity is a priority. Although Trump's threats were serious, Spain, as a major exporter of olive oil and other products, considers itself less vulnerable to economic sanctions.
