Hay war between the US and Spain, but because of the story. The White House wanted to announce that Spain is “militarily cooperating” with the US and immediately Moncloa has “flatly denied it.”
In her press conference this Wednesday, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explained, in response to questions from a journalist, that “I understand that, In the last few hours, they have agreed to cooperate with the US Army. As far as I know, he is coordinating with his counterparts in Spain.”
Immediately, in just minutes, it was the Spanish Foreign Minister who denied this point. Jose Manuel Albares has “blatantly” rejected the US announcement. “Our position has not changed at all“, Albares said in Hour 25 (SER Chain).
The Foreign Minister’s position comes hours after Pedro Sánchez’s institutional speech, which has shaken the national and international political landscape.
A day earlier, Trump claimed to have given orders to “cut off trade relations” with Spain and included raise a possible “seizure” for him veto of the Spanish Government for the US to use the Morón and Rota bases as a starting point for operations in Iran.
