In a 10-minute televised address Sánchez reflected on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as the Iraq War more than 20 years ago and said “the government’s position can be summed up in four words: No to war”.

Trump threatened to impose a full trade embargo on Spain in response to Madrid’s refusal to allow the US to use the jointly run bases at Morón and Rotafor for strikes on Iran.

“Spain has been terrible,” Trump said during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday.

    This! Germany and france should stand by with spain instead of trying to not displease trump. if this does not happen, the whole vision of the EU is questionable. i dont understand why spain is the only country to take a clear stance against a unsanctioned war. you like to decide things without us? ok… then handle it without our ressources.

      Merz is actually busy playing good poodle with Mister Trump. If you’re exoecting any bit of morale ethics or decent human behaviour from the 2m of useless vertical growth that is our chancellor, you’re hopelessly optimistic.
