Spain Stands Firm As Trump Warns Of Ruin Over Iran‼️
President Donald Trump has ramped up pressure on Spain, warning that the country could face serious economic damage if it refuses to back the United States and Israel in the conflict with Iran. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has not shifted course. He has blocked the use of Spanish bases for the campaign, called the war unjustified, and argued that Washington is in no position to lecture Madrid about ruin after slashing billions in global health aid while pouring far larger sums into the war. Reports put U.S. health-aid cuts around $18 billion and war spending well into the tens of billions, while Spanish firms have already taken a heavy hit from energy shocks and market losses. Trade threats have not moved Sánchez so far, and Spain continues to say it will not be complicit out of fear of reprisals. ‼️
