Trump blasts Spain, targets Greenland at NATO summit
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to halt all trade with Spain amid a bitter row over Madrid's defense spending and failure to help Washington with the Iran war.
"Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore," Trump said as he arrived at a NATO summit in Ankara.
- Greenland is a 'big problem' -
Trump said NATO's stance on Greenland was a "big problem" after allies showed resistance to his position that it should belong to the United States and not Denmark.
"Greenland is a big problem for us," he told reporters at the opening of the NATO summit, saying it was "very important for the United States, but it's not important for Denmark".
"We need it for protection of the world, not just the United States.. It doesn't help Denmark, but it helps us."
