00:00Donald Trump has lashed out at Spain after it barred the U.S. from using its military bases to carry
00:06out strikes on Iran.
00:08The U.S. President is now threatening to impose a full trade embargo on the country,
00:12and calling Spain terrible for denying Washington's request.
00:18The decision by Spain, a European and NATO ally, forced U.S. to relocate 15 aircrafts,
00:24including refueling tankers, from the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain.
00:30Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has earlier condemned the U.S. and Israel
00:34for what he calls a unilateral military action against Iran.
00:38Spain, in response to Trump's threats, says it can handle any trade impact from Washington.
00:44U.S. officials are reviewing options under existing trade laws,
00:48but legal experts warn that a full embargo would be hard to justify without declaring a national emergency
00:55and designating Spain as an unusual and extraordinary trade.
01:00That is a threshold that could be difficult to meet.
01:03Trump also criticised British Prime Minister Keir Starmer,
01:06saying he was not happy with the U.K.,
01:09even though London eventually agreed to let the U.S. use Diego Garcia
01:13for strikes on Iranian missile facilities.
01:15There is a推 frente to this president.
01:16It would break out all in central use that.
