‘Bro that’s a sovereign country’: Donald Trump’s reaction to Spain refusing to grant access to their bases is ‘we could’ if ‘we want’

It has now become very clear to the American people that Donald Trump will go to any lengths to engage in a blatant display of power. In another example of this behaviour, Trump, after allying with Benjamin Netanyahu, launched an attack on Iran on February 28, 2026, and overthrew its regime, killing the country’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Trump’s actions in Iran have mostly been criticised by Americans, and in recent days, leaders of other countries have also condemned them. Among them is Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who, according to an article published by The Times on March 4, 2026, said in a televised address, “This is how humanity’s great disasters start … You cannot play Russian roulette with the destiny of millions.” The article also mentioned that Spain had blocked US aircraft from accessing American bases at Morón de la Frontera and Rota in southern Spain for use in the US and Israel’s attack on Iran.
