On Tuesday, March 3, the White home met US president Donald Trump with German Chancellor Friedrich Merzem. In the open part of the gathering attended by journalists, an American politician notified of a break in trade relations with Spain. There were besides amazing words about the UK Prime Minister, and Trump stated that "we are not dealing with Winston Churchill here".
Donald Trump: The United States is breaking up trade with Spain. There's besides an answer.
“I told Scott (Bessent – Finance Secratary – ed.) to cut off all business contacts with them,” Donald Trump publically told him about the break in US trade with Spain. As the politicians explained, any European countries, including Germany, were helpful erstwhile attacking Iran, while others – including Spain – were "wreckless".
Trump's allegations against Spain included, among others, the fact that it did not increase defence spending to 5% of GDP (according to the NATO order under force from the US) and besides does not let Americans to usage their military bases.
And now Spain says we can't usage their bases. We can do whatever we want. We can land there and usage them, no 1 will tell us that we can't," said the politician quoted by Gazeta.pl, adding that Spain is "not friendly" towards the United States.
On Monday, Spanish defence minister Margarita Robles reported that military bases, which have been utilized by the U.S. Army for years, do not support the American attack on Iran. It stressed that specified assistance is only possible under global law. The agreement between the United States and Spain on the usage of bases does not let for unilateral action by the US Army without an global framework. Furthermore, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned the US and Israel's "one-sided military action" towards Iran.
Spain has absolutely nothing we need. but large people. They have large people, but they don't have large powers. I have the right to end all business with Madrid," Donald Trump stated on Tuesday.
According to Reuters' reports, the Spanish government has already responded to the statements of the US President. The authorities there stressed that the United States must respect global law and trade agreements concluded between the US and the European Union. It was besides mentioned that Spain "has adequate resources to deal with the possible impact of the American trade embargo".
Trump complains about Britain. It's a stupid island.
Donald Trump besides mentioned that "he is not satisfied with the UK's attitude", which besides failed to show US support.
– Spain did not cooperate, the UK did not show any aid either. I don't know what the problem was. They ruined our relationship. I love Britain, my parent was born there," said the president of the United States.
The politician besides referred to British Prime Minister Keira Starmer and stated that "we are not dealing with Winston Churchill here".
– Spain was very reluctant to cooperate and so was Britain. In the second case, it's shocking, but it's not Churchill's time. The United Kingdom was very reluctant to cooperate on this stupid island – Trump, quoted by Gazeta.pl, referred to PAP.
Speaking of "a stupid island," Donald Trump meant the island of Diego Garcia located in the Chagos archipelago. It was erstwhile inhabited by Mauritians who were displaced due to the construction of an American military base. Mauritius's right to the island. At the end of February, the media reported that the draft law implementing the agreement to transfer sovereignty over the archipelago was at the end of the work. However, he was "stopped while talking to American partners," as the Undersecretary of State Hamish Falconer spoke of. Britain would control the military base on a lease basis for 99 years.
Donald Trump did not like the fact that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer blocked the usage of the base for US attacks on Iran.
