Spain FOLDS After President Trump Threatened To Cut All Trade

Spain has just folded.

At least that’s what the White House has said

As the WLT Report previously reported, on Tuesday, President Trump, while holding a discussion at the White House with Germany’s Chancellor, the 47th President revealed he planned to cut all trade with Spain.

Trump told the German Chancellor that Spain is terrible because it would not allow the U.S. military to use its bases as the U.S. conducted air strikes on Iran.

Watch the moment Trump said it here:

Now, it appears Spain got the message!

On Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that Spain has reached out to the White House to cooperate with the U.S. military.

Politico provided quotes from Leavitt:

Less than 24 hours after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cut off trade relations with Madrid over its refusal to let Washington use military bases on Spanish soil to attack Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt claimed Spain had “agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military.”

Levitt said Madrid had heard Trump’s message “loud and clear” and was now coordinating action with Washington.

However, after Leavitt made the comments, the socialist (not rhetorical, he’s an actual socialist) Prime Minister of Spain denied Leavitt’s claim.

The Guardian reported more on Spain’s prime minister’s denial:

The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has responded to Donald Trump’s extraordinary threat to cut off all trade with Spain over his government’s refusal to facilitate the US’s attacks against Iran, comparing the growing conflict in the Middle East to playing “Russian roulette with the destiny of millions”.

Sánchez, who has been one of the most vociferous European critics of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, said his government’s position on the widening instability could be summed up in three words: “No to war.”

In a section of the speech that appeared to directly address Trump’s threats to end all trade with Spain, the prime minister said his country would “not be complicit in something that is bad for the world – and that is also contrary to our values ​​and interests – simply out of fear of reprisals from someone”.

On Tuesday, Trump had rounded on Madrid for refusing the US permission to use jointly operated bases in southern Spain to continue its attacks in Iran. “Spain has been terrible,” Trump said during a meeting with the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, adding that he had told the Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, to “cut off all dealings” with the European country.

In his address on Wednesday, Sánchez called on the US, Israel and Iran to stop their war before it was too late, saying: “You can’t respond to one illegality with another because that’s how humanity’s great disasters begin.”

So who is right?

Any thoughts on this?
