【Latest News: Trump Issues Tariff Threats to Spain】
On October 14, 2025, in Washington time, U.S. President Donald Trump told the White House press corps during a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei:
We are considering imposing tariffs on Spain. This move could be a retaliation for Spain's refusal to increase defense spending; Spain must now follow other NATO members and increase military spending.
Trump added:
Spain has done very well on our back (note: sarcastic expression). Spain is the only member of the 32-nation alliance that has not pledged to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP. The geographical environment ensures that Spain automatically receives NATO protection, but the country's actions are very disrespectful to NATO.
