President Donald Trump instructed his staff to sever all business dealings with Spain and to avoid any contact, describing the country as 'hopeless' and 'bad people,' according to Abu Ali Express. The remarks follow his earlier statement Wednesday calling for a full trade cut with Spain.
President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Spain on Wednesday, telling his staff to cut all business ties and cease communications with the country, according to a report by Abu Ali Express. Trump said he does not want to do business with Spain anymore and instructed his people not to even speak to them, describing the country as 'hopeless' and 'bad people.'
The remarks come just over an hour after Trump called for cutting all trade ties with Spain, including halting visits, as The Zioneer reported at 11:21. In that earlier statement, he also slammed Spain's treatment of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Trump's latest comments are part of a broader pattern of criticism of European allies. In recent weeks, he has called Spain a 'shame show' (June 24) and expressed disappointment with Italy, the UK, and Germany. Earlier this month, the US ambassador to NATO said Trump is disappointed with Spain. The administration's stance on trade and alliances continues to draw attention amid ongoing tensions over the Iran deal and the Israel-Hamas war. No official response from Spain has been reported yet.
