Trump Orders Treasury Secretary to Halt Trade With Spain, Sending Ibex Down 1.8%
Trump directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to immediately cut off all trade with Spain, calling the NATO ally a “wasted cause” for its defense spending stance and refusal to support U.S. operations during the Iran conflict.
The Spanish government downplayed the directive as routine, reiterating that strong economic and social ties with the U.S. remain unchanged. The Ibex 35 index slid 1.8% as federal agencies compiled a list of Spanish products for a potential embargo. Trade rules require the European Union to handle commerce negotiations as a single bloc, complicating any bilateral imposition.
