President Trump TURNS to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and DIRECTS them: “Cut OFF all trade with Spain... Immediately, DON’T even talk to them. They’re hopeless.”
“Spain is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I’d like you to cut it off. Spain is a TERRIBLE PARTNER in NATO. They don’t participate. They don’t pay. I don’t want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please.”
“Including visits. We don’t want anything to do [with Spain]. Watch them come running back.”
“Spain doesn’t agree to anything… We don’t have to trade with them. I DON’T want to do any more trade with them. Immediately, DON’T even talk to them. They’re hopeless.”
