Trump targets Spain and reopens Greenland bid at NATO summit

At a NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump attacked Spain as a 'wasted cause' and a 'terrible partner' and threatened to cut trade, while reviving his long-standing push to have Greenland belong to the US instead of Denmark. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said relations with the US are positive and highlighted Spain’s defense commitments (2% of GDP in 2025) and its refusal to host US bases at Morón and Rota. Trump argued that NATO allies owe the US more for security, reiterated Greenland’s strategic importance to the US, and noted that Denmark and Greenland say Greenland is not for sale. The EU stressed mutual trade benefits with the US, and all 32 NATO members pledged their commitment to Article Five.}
