Trump Orders Immediate Trade Halt with Spain at NATO Summit

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an immediate cessation of all trade with Spain on July 8, 2026, during the NATO summit in Ankara. The move serves as a sanction against Madrid for failing to meet defense spending targets and opposing U.S. military operations against Iran. The decision has sparked a diplomatic crisis within the alliance, as EU officials argue that trade negotiations must be conducted as a single bloc. Trump also reiterated territorial interests in Greenland.
