Spain could face tariffs or other trade retaliation over its refusal to join other NATO partners in raising defense spending.
President Donald Trump has attacked the country multiple times in recent days, and now says he could start a trade war with Spain if it doesn’t comply with his wishes.
“I think Spain’s terrible what they’ve done, they are the only country that won’t pay 5%,” Trump said during a NATO summit press conference in the Netherlands.
“Spain is the only country out of all of the countries that refuses to pay,” Trump continued. “They want a little bit of a free ride, but they’ll have to pay it back to us on trade, because I’m not going to let that happen. It’s unfair. It’s unfair to NATO.”
President Trump rips into Spain for refusing to increase NATO spending.
