‘No to War’: Spain Rebukes Trump’s Trade Threats, Refuses to Aid Iran Conflict

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doubled down on his refusal to become involved in the Iran conflict and rebuked U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to cut off trade with Spain as a form of punishment.

“The position of the Government of Spain can be summed up in three words,” said Sánchez in a televised address Wednesday morning. “No to war.”
