When Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez forbade U.S. forces from using Spanish bases to support the war in Iran and then banned U.S. military overflights, President Donald Trump was furious, but Sanchez stood firm.
“We are not going to be complicit in something that is bad for the world,” Sánchez declared in a Mar. 4 televised address. Trump called the decision “terrible” and “uncooperative,” and responded, “We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain.”
