Trump made the remarks during a NATO meeting while standing next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump's core complaint is that Spain refuses to pay its NATO defense spending commitments. While Germany, France, the UK, and Italy have all been contributing, Spain has openly resisted meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target that NATO members are required to hit. Trump said he tested NATO members during the Iran conflict to see which ones would show up and support the US. Spain did not. "Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay." "Cut off all trade with Spain immediately. Don't even talk to them. Including visits." Spain is one of the US's significant trading partners in Europe. The US exports roughly $16 billion worth of goods to Spain annually. Trump is threatening to end that entirely over NATO non compliance. "They make so much money with us and we are going to see that they make a lot less."

Keir Starmer's premiership appears to be hanging by a thread after his much-anticipated policy reset speech on Monday - in response to the Labour Party's poor performance in recent local elections - failed to deliver the shift many MPs demanded. Starmer said on Tuesday that he wasn't going anywhere, but with calls for his departure mounting, he looks to be fighting a losing battle.
