Trump orders a halt to US trade with Spain
ANKARA, Turkey U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was cutting off trade with Spain over defense spending reviving a long-running feud between Washington and Madrid. “I didn’t speak to Spain. Spain is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore,” he told reporters ahead of a meeting with fellow NATO leaders in Ankara. “By the way, I’d like you to cut it off,” he added, appearing to address U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Trump’s feud with Spain goes back to last year’s NATO summit.
