Trump Warns of Ending Trade Deal With Spain Over NATO Spending
President Trump threatens to terminate trade agreements with Spain if the country fails to increase its NATO defense spending to the level he has demanded.
President Donald Trump has warned that the United States may end its trade agreement with Spain if the country does not increase its NATO defense spending to the level he has demanded.
Trump's threats come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and its European allies over defense spending commitments. The president has repeatedly criticized NATO members for not meeting the alliance's target of spending 2% of their gross domestic product on defense.
In a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with Spain's defense spending, which currently stands at around 1% of GDP.
