President Donald Trump announced he ordered a complete trade cutoff with Spain after the country refused to allow U.S. military bases for operations against Iran. During a White House event on Tuesday, the president called Spain "terrible" and "unfriendly" for declining to support Operation Epic Fury. He instructed an aide to "cut off all dealings with Spain." Trump claimed the U.S. could unilaterally use Spanish bases regardless of permission, stating, "We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it." However, he added that the administration chose not to pursue that option. Trump declared, "We're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain."
