Washington. This Tuesday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, warned that he could «stop all trade with Spain» due to its position on military action against Iran, and considered the possibility of imposing a trade embargo on the country after the Spanish government’s decision not to allow the use of the Morón and Rota bases for military operations against Tehran. «I can stop everything related to Spain; I have the right to do so. I can do whatever I want with them, and we could take similar actions regarding Spain.» «We are going to end all trade relations with Spain,» Trump stated at a meeting with German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. The President of the United States added that «he does not wish to have a relationship» with Spain. When the leader inquired about the possibility of establishing an embargo against Spain, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent replied that the U.S. Supreme Court «has confirmed the ability to carry out an embargo» through executive action. «Spain does not own anything that we really need, except for its people.»
Trump threatens to cut trade and impose an embargo on Spain for its stance on Iran.
