Trump Announces Trade Cutoff with Spain Over Military Base Access Denial

US President Donald Trump announced a halt to all trade with Spain after Madrid refused to allow US military bases in Rota and Moron to be used for operations against Iran. Trump directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off economic dealings, citing recent Supreme Court rulings on embargo powers. Spain's government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, opposed the use of bases citing international law and the UN Charter. Trump also criticized the UK for limited support in the conflict, while welcoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's cooperation.
