lol. trump saying he’s going to cut off all trade with Spain, and him cutting off all trade with Spain are two very different things. leaving aside it would be extremely difficult for him to do so, and even if he could, the EU would respond rather than Spain, with huge embargos on US products.

European countries should just start evicting US bases from their soil.

Most of Spain’s exports go to EU countries, the UK, China, and Morocco. Very little goes to the US (about 5% of $400B).
In the meantime, Spain usually has a trade deficit with the US of about $7B, as they buy $29B in goods from the US and sell $22B in goods from the US.

lol he’s turned the US into a caricature of himself: angry, impulsive, corrupt, and a habitual self sabotage artist.

Nothing new for the US, sadly. In 2003, the Bush administration threatened France for refusing the Iraq war.
Wonder how that war turned out for the world, in the end.

That EU trade “deal” sure didn’t last long.

No he didn’t cut anything. Spain is part of the EU single market. This is not how it works.

Serious question but can we even embargo a single member of the EU? Does the EU not have some type of protection against this in their charter?

>We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it.
Says man who’s definitely never raped people.

God I hate US politicians. Spineless losers letting him continue to do so much harm.

No he didn’t. Spain is part of the EU. He *threatened* to cut off trade because he doesn’t understand how the EU works…

This is a stupid article. By what mechanism would trump stop all trad with Spain, bc the president doesn’t have the power to do that. You’d think it’d be important to include that little fact

This is fucking pathetic. America you should be ashamed of yourselves electing this utter moron to be president.

Misleading headline. Him saying shit does not mean it’s happened. Stop sane washing his actions.
He can’t cut trade physically with Spain without cutting trade to the entire EU.

Spain using its national sovereignty decided not to allow the US to use its bases for an illegal war.
Orange felon is the greatest snowflake in American history.
This war is gonna suck super bad. All former allies no longer taking our calls. Next he’ll try to make nato get involved and everyone will shrug.
So Spain says, no thanks- to being a launchpad for strikes, and his response is to throw a tariff tantrum. Totally normal diplomacy.
From pedophilia to pedrophilia
Trump is a child rapist
“Paella will now be known as freedom rice. Also, no castanets in the ballroom”
This dipshit still doesn’t understand EU single market I see.
I have a feeling Spain won’t be the only one in the long run, but not decided by trump to stop trading with..
Dumb. It won’t be Spain responding, it will be the EU responding. Just another case of TACO.
lol. No, he didn’t cut off all trade with Spain. He just said he will but he is going to find out it doesn’t work like that.
Will the tantrum ever end?
Did Trump think he could treat our allies like shit and they’d come running in to help us?

Energy & Industrial Goods: Refined petroleum, motor cars, vehicle parts, and machinery.
