President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off trade with Spain after Madrid refused to allow US forces to use its military bases in its ongoing operation in Iran.
"We don't want anything to do with Spain," Trump told reporters at the White House in early March. Two weeks later, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares insisted relations between the US and Spain were "normal", as Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez reaffirmed the country's firm "no to war" stance.
