US President Donald Trump attends the North Atlantic Council meeting held as part of the 36th NATO Heads of State and Government Summit at the Presidential Complex in Ankara, Turkiye on July 08, 2026.

President Donald Trump has announced he is cutting off all trade with Spain, calling it a “terrible partner” in NATO. He also reiterated his dissatisfaction with the alliance over insufficient support during the war with Iran.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he does not want to do trade with Spain, calling it "a terrible partner" in NATO. "We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore. By the way, I'd like you to cut it up. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain," Trump said on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara.

Order to cut trade

Trump ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off trade with Spain immediately. "Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits… I don't want to do any more trade with them. All right, take it immediately," he said. Trump reiterated that he is "not happy" with NATO over insufficient support during the war with Iran. The remarks came as NATO leaders gathered in Ankara for the second day of the summit, where defence spending and burden-sharing have dominated the agenda.
