Trade shock in Europe. Trump breaks off contacts with Spain and attacks London

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was not satisfied with Spain and announced that the United States would no longer trade with the country. He added that he was also not satisfied with Great Britain.

– I told Scott (Bessent, Finance Minister) to cut off all (trade) contacts with them, Trump said during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House.

He recalled that Spain did not increase its defense spending. – And now Spain has said that we cannot use their bases – he added. He assessed that Spain was not friendly towards the USA.

– Spain has absolutely nothing we need. Apart from great people. They have great people, but they don't have great authorities, he continued.

He added that he was also dissatisfied with Great Britain. – We are not dealing with Winston Churchill here – Trump emphasized. (PAP)
