Trump says he doesn't want to trade with Spain

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized European allies for not spending enough on defense, and on Wednesday, he lashed out in particular at Spain.

Axar.az reports, citing CNN, Spain is the only member of NATO that has refused to commit to the increased spending targets, securing an exemption to cap its military spending at 2.1% of GDP, instead of the higher 5% target that other nations plan to reach by 2035. Among NATO allies, Spain is tied for last place in terms of defense spending as a percentage of the country’s GDP.

“Spain is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore,” Trump said from the Ankara summit on Wednesday. “Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don’t participate, they don’t pay. I don’t want anything to do with Spain.”
