AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly rejected potential trade repercussions threatened by Donald Trump following Spain's refusal to support US actions against Iran. Trump criticized Spain for denying the US use of jointly operated bases for attacks in Iran, suggesting a complete cessation of trade between the two countries. Sánchez responded by stating Spain would not compromise its values or global well-being out of fear. He urged the US, Israel, and Iran to de-escalate the conflict, warning against repeating the mistakes of the 2003 Iraq invasion. Sánchez emphasized his government's priority is the safety and prosperity of its citizens, not profiting from geopolitical conflicts.
