Take it immediately, and don\u2019t even talk to them. They are hopeless. They are bad people. They make a lot of money from us, and we will ensure they make much less. I want no business with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This escalation comes in light of Trump\u2019s repeated frustrations with Spain, which did not agree to NATO&#8217;s new defense spending goal of 5% of GDP, and its socialist leadership refused to allow the United States to use its airspace or military bases during the war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Spain hosts two important American military bases: the Rota Naval Station and the Mor\u00f3n Air Base.<\/p>\n<p>A memo from the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) last April outlined options to punish NATO allies who failed to support U.S. operations in the war with Iran, including suspending Spain&#8217;s membership in the alliance, according to an American official who spoke to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the United States has extensive trade relations with Spain, and the decision to cut trade is expected to have significant economic repercussions on both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump announced today, Wednesday, during the NATO summit in Ankara, that he has ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bencin to cut all forms of trade with Spain, considering Madrid a \u201cvery bad partner\u201d in the alliance.
