Spain's Foreign Minister Álvarez responded to US President Trump's trade threats, stating that American actions against Spain are meaningless and emphasizing that EU trade policy is jointly managed, with any isolated commercial coercion constituting an attack on the entire EU, indicating that Spain is not concerned about potential US actions.

On March 12th local time, Spanish Foreign Minister Alvarez stated that since trade issues are managed by the European Union and there is no reason to justify any actions taken by the United States against Spain, any such actions would be “meaningless.” The day before, U.S. President Trump again criticized the Spanish government and threatened to cut trade ties with Spain. Alvarez responded that the EU’s trade policy is a common policy, and the European Commission has made it clear that commercial coercion against one country is an attack on all EU member states. Alvarez said that Spain is not worried about the possibility of the U.S. taking any action. (CCTV News)
