The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East, Trump wrote on his social media platform, adding: That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer. But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!
The White House is not exactly trying to forge a coalition of the unwilling. Washington did not consult European allies before the attack and has not asked them to join in bombing Tehran. But the administration wants access to strategic European air bases and logistics hubs to facilitate its aerial barrage.
Our position has been very clear from Day 1. The facts are clear. The Spanish government is not going to authorize the use of the bases in Rota and Moron for these military actions. No single country should act as a guardian of the world. We have international rules.
Spain has been terrible. So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain. I have asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all dealings with Spain. I could tomorrow stop -- or today, even better -- stop everything having to do with Spain, all business. I have the right to... do anything I want with it.
