President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that Spain should be "punished" due to its defense budget, which he considers insufficient compared to NATO standards. Trump suggested imposing tariffs as a trade sanction for this situation. These statements contrast with his friendly attitude at the summit regarding Gaza, where he praised the attending leaders, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. The Spanish government allocates 2% of GDP for defense, but does not intend to increase this amount to 5%, as NATO established at its last summit. Spain believes it can meet NATO objectives without increasing spending.
