Trump: I’ll make Spain pay for Nato spending snub

US president’s threat comes after Pedro Sanchez refused to meet Nato defence spending target

I wonder what the Spanish tariff will be to equal his definition of 5%.

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would make Spain “pay twice as much” in trade tariffs after it refused to honour a Nato agreement to increase defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP.

The US president singled out Spain for declining to meet the target and said he would seek to punish the Mediterranean country in trade negotiations unless it changed course.

Trump says US would protect NATO allies, recognizing that ‘they love their countries’

NATO’s annual summit this week focused heavily on Article 5, the alliance’s collective defense guarantee.
