President Trump Vows Trade Embargo Against Spain Over Military Base Dispute

Fine Day Radio — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 23:07:36 +0000

President Trump announced plans to end all trade with Spain during an Oval Office meeting Tuesday, citing the country’s refusal to allow U.S. use of joint military bases for Iran operations. The threat comes after Spain’s foreign minister said the bases couldn’t be used for strikes not authorized by the UN.

WASHINGTON — During a Tuesday meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump declared his intention to halt all commercial relations with Spain, expressing frustration over the nation’s stance regarding recent U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran and its reluctance to boost NATO defense expenditures.

Speaking to media during his Oval Office session with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump stated: “We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain.”

Putin Building African Springboard for War on West

Michael Albanese | CEPA — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 22:21:20 +0000

Russia’s military engagement in Africa has grown since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in a deliberate and cost-effective strategy to broaden its frontline against the West.

The continent offers the Kremlin a low-risk, high-yield theater to destabilize NATO’s southern flank, sustain its war economy, and pre-position military assets in the event of a broader conflict against NATO partners and their allies.

In Libya, Russian assets have dug in at airbases like Al-Khadim and Jufra, giving Moscow a permanent Mediterranean launchpad. This presence has become even more critical following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and the resulting collapse of Russia’s military foothold at Tartus.

Germany investigates possible sabotage of water supply at military base

Reuters — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 19:28:27 +0000

BERLIN, Aug 14 (Reuters) – A German military base next to Cologne airport was temporarily sealed off on Wednesday and soldiers there were told not to drink tap water as authorities investigated possible sabotage, the military’s Territorial Command said.

A guard detected a hole in the fence near the water processing plant of the barracks early on Wednesday morning, prompting a search of the premises which did not turn up any trespassers, the Territorial Command said in a press release.

“The water supply was interrupted as the drinking-water system showed unusual values,” it said.

The base, which has 4,300 soldiers and 1,200 civilian employees, was reopened in the afternoon. It is home to the fleet of military aircraft used for travel by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his ministers.

US secures deal on Philippines bases to complete arc around China

Rupert Wingfield-Hayes | BBC News — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 19:03:03 +0000

The US has secured access to four additional military bases in the Philippines – a key bit of real estate which would offer a front seat to monitor the Chinese in the South China Sea and around Taiwan.

With the deal, Washington has stitched the gap in the arc of US alliances stretching from South Korea and Japan in the north to Australia in the south.

The missing link had been the Philippines, which borders two of the biggest potential flashpoints – Taiwan and the South China Sea.

The deal, which in part reverses the US’ departure from their former colony more than 30 years ago, is no small matter.

“There is no contingency in the South China Sea that does not require access to the Philippines,” says Gregory B Poling, director of the Southeast Asia programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
