Most European Leaders Have Tiptoed Around Trump’s War with Iran. Not Spain’s PM
Spain's prime minister condemned US strikes on Iran and refused base use, citing legal and ethical concerns amid US trade threats, with Spain’s trade ties at 5% to the US.
- Pedro Sánchez, Spain's prime minister, forbade US use of the Rota and Morón bases after the US threats, rejecting the strikes.
- Amid fragile coalition politics, Sánchez argues the strikes are reckless and illegal and compares the campaign to the Iraq war, using foreign policy to support his coalition.
- The White House claimed a trade threat had forced Spain to cooperate, but Trump threatened to cut trade and said 'we could just fly in' regarding bases.
- While trade links are limited, damage may be limited since only about 5% of Spain's trade is with the US, but Spain relies on US liquefied natural gas, and the EU would be obliged to defend any member.
- This dispute centers on whether NATO and European leaders will allow bases in Spain to be used for US strikes, amid Trump’s threats and Sánchez’s opposition.
