Trump announced that due to Spain's refusal to open its military bases to the U.S., the United States will stop all trade with Spain. He also stated that the U.S. doesn't need permission at all - if they want, the U.S. military can directly fly there and use these bases without asking.
"But some European countries, such as Spain, have been very bad. I've told Scott (Bessenart) to terminate all contact with Spain."
Now Spain actually said that we cannot use their bases. It doesn't matter - we didn't need to anyway.
As long as we want, we can directly fly there and use their bases. No one can tell us what we can or cannot do.
But we don't need to do it. They have been unfriendly, so I said we don't want to do it.
To be honest, besides the people, Spain has nothing to offer us - their people are really great.
So we will stop all trade with Spain. We don't want any connection with them."
