“Spain is a wasted cause,” Trump declared. “We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I’d like to cut it off.”

“Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits. We don’t want anything to do with them. They’re hopeless. Bad people.”

Trump also accused the Spanish government of mistreating NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who was standing beside him.
