That wouldn’t be a bad move for them, actually. The EU and association with the subverted West has actually been worse for Spain than WWI and WWII combined. I doubt the Fake Trump’s threats are intimidating them.
Donald Trump said the US will escort vessels across the Strait of Hormuz ‘if necessary’ after Iran forced shut the vital shipping route as it continues to retaliate following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran threatened to set ships ‘ablaze’ if they continued through the crucial passage, which transports 20 per cent of the world’s oil, claiming it left three British and American ships ‘burning’ before a further attack on a ‘US allied’ tanker on Monday.
Oil prices have spiked worldwide and Mr Trump has now claimed the US will shuttle tankers through the strait.
He said: ‘If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world’.
It came after he launched a furious rant against Spain, saying he would cut all ties with the country after it denied the US permission to use their shared bases to launch attacks against Iran.
The US President also lashed out at Sir Keir Starmer, saying ‘it is not quite Winston Churchill we’re dealing with’, before adding: ‘We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain’.
I imagine the Chinese ambassador is already in touch with the Spanish government. And certainly, Russian oil and natural gas would be quite welcome in Spain.
