flag The U.S. praises Spain’s key NATO role despite Trump’s past threats and troop reductions.

flag The U.S. has praised Spain’s critical role in NATO, with Defense Minister Margarita Robles citing Pentagon recognition of Spain’s "fundamental and essential" contributions, including over 700 troops in Latvia. flag This comes after former President Donald Trump threatened to expel Spain and impose tariffs over defense spending, though the Pentagon reaffirmed Spain’s value to deterrence and alliance unity despite troop withdrawals from eastern Europe. flag Spain maintains it will meet defense commitments based on capacity, not the alliance’s five percent GDP target.
