Trump closes the account: threatens an embargo on Spain and attacks Britain

● Trump started a war with Iran. Now he is thinking how to end it
● Commentary | Europe is afraid to enter the war, and concentrates on conciliatory messages

At the press conference with the chancellor, Trump referred to these actions, saying that “Spain is terrible. I asked our commerce minister to stop all trade with them,” the president said. Trump detailed that Spain is the only country that refused to spend more than 3% on defense, as required of all other NATO members. “They are the only country that did not agree to it,” he noted, adding that “they were not friendly to us.” Regarding the refusal to use the bases, he said, “We don’t need their permission, we can just fly there.” He added that he is considering imposing a full trade embargo on Spain following the conduct of the government there. “There are great people there, but The leaders don’t,” he said.

“We are not satisfied”

Regarding the United Kingdom, Trump harshly criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer, against the background of the restrictions that Britain imposed on the United States regarding the use of its bases around the world for the purpose of the war. Starmer made it clear several times to the public in the country in recent days that Britain did not take part in the war, and said that he would allow American planes to use British bases only for defensive purposes, such as eliminating launchers and missiles. In addition, Britain prohibited the United States from using its air force bases in Cyprus, Due to the local government’s fear of an Iranian reaction and involvement in the war.

“The second country (that we are not happy with, in addition to Spain) is Britain,” Trump said, “It’s shocking.” It took us three or four days to figure out where we could land and where we couldn’t. It’s not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with… we’re not satisfied.” The British Prime Minister clarified that the government is acting “according to international law.” Britain is only considering sending warships to the region at this stage, and so far has avoided Iranian-sponsored attacks on its bases in Cyprus.

Regarding Germany, while the chancellor was sitting next to him, President Trump said that he was satisfied with Germany’s attitude. “They respect us, they let us use the bases.” Martz clarified during the press conference that he fully supports the Iranian-Israeli war against Iran. This is the clearest support of a major European country in the war so far, compared to French and British calls for an end to the fighting, and calls from the European Union for “de-escalation”. “We support the action of the US and Israel in removing this terrible regime. We want to talk now about the day after,” said Mertz.
