Trump wants to ban trade and tourism with Spain over NATO bill
So, Donald Trump is at the NATO summit, and he just decided that Spain is officially canceled. No trade, no tapas, not even vacations.
While sitting right next to the NATO chief, Trump casually dropped that Spain is a "wasted cause" and a "terrible partner." Why? Because they aren't spending enough on their military. Specifically, they didn't sign up for the target of spending 5% of their GDP on defense by 2035.
He literally asked to "cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits."
The funniest part? The NATO Secretary-General, Mark Rutte, tried to play peacekeeper by pointing out that Spain actually increased its budget to over 2% recently—expressly thanking Trump for bullying them into doing it. But Trump was not having it. No olive oil for you.
Good luck explaining to American retirement communities why their winter trips to the Costa del Sol are suddenly a threat to national security.
