The White House said that Spain had received President Trump‘s message “loud and clear,” suggesting that Spain, which had previously refused to let its military bases be used in the war against Iran, had now agreed to work with the U.S. military. This claim came from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who made the statement to reporters.
According to Al Jazeera, Spain quickly pushed back. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares flatly denied the White House’s claim, saying, “Not a single comma has changed, and I have no idea whatsoever what they might be referring to.”
