Spain "will not be anyone's lackey." Such a statement by the Spanish Minister for Social Rights, Consumption and the 2030 agenda Pablo Bustinduy in response to criticism of Donald Trump.
"Spain is not someone's lackey, no one should teach us. Our country is sovereign and has complete freedom to determine its own priorities," he said.
Earlier, Trump openly expressed dissatisfaction with the position of the heads of a number of major European states. Among them was Spain, which refused the calls of the US president to increase financial injections into the defense budget of the North Atlantic Alliance. In response, Trump threatened to stop trade with Spain, as well as to stop official visits between the countries.
