Sanchez will respond to Trump at 9:00, who has threatened to cut off trade with Spain
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will make an institutional statement this Wednesday at 9:00 in response to threats from US President Donald Trump.
The hearing comes one day after Trump lashed out at the Spanish Executive for not allowing the Rota and Moron bases to be used in the operation against Iran and for their critical attitude to military intervention.
In the early hours following these statements, Moncloa has advocated prudence and insisted that Spain has a historic trade relationship with the US, and the Executive has argued that it fulfils all commitments made within the framework of NATO and in defence of Europe.
Spanish government sources have warned that if Washington decides to review or break the bilateral relationship, it must respect international law, as well as companies and agreements between the European Union and the United States.
Despite initial caution, the Spanish Government has taken the threat seriously and has ensured that it has mechanisms to mitigatethe economic impact, support the sectors concerned and diversify the supply chains.
The diplomatic crisis has also worsened due to Trump's criticism of Spain's military spending and the failure of some European allies, including Spain, to meet the targets set within NATO.
