The White House says Spain has agreed to cooperate with U.S. operations in the Middle East after U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened to cut off trade with Madrid. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that “with respect to Spain I think they heard the president’s message yesterday loud and clear." Leavitt said that Spain has “agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military. And so I know that the U.S. military is coordinating with their counterparts in Spain.” Trump on Tuesday said that he was going to “cut off all trade with Spain.” Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares had said Monday that his country wouldn’t allow the U.S. to use jointly operated bases in southern Spain in any strikes not covered by the U.N. charter.
