U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticised Spain during his interaction with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Ankara, accusing Madrid of failing to meet its NATO defence spending commitments. Trump threatened to cut trade ties with Spain and argued that the United States has carried a disproportionate share of the alliance's security burden for decades. He also renewed calls for NATO members to increase defence spending, while discussing support for Ukraine and recent military action against Iran. Rutte praised Trump's role in pushing allies to spend more on defence and described the increase in European defence investments as a major achievement. #DonaldTrump #NATO #Spain #MarkRutte #US #NATOSummit #DefenceSpending #TrumpSpeech #USForeignPolicy #Iran #Europe #GlobalPolitics #Ankara #BreakingNews #TheHindu Thank you for watching our video!
