In a shocking outburst, former US President Donald Trump has called for Spain to be cut off from all trade, sparking widespread concern and confusion about the implications of such a drastic move. Trump's statement, made in a series of tweets, appears to be a response to Spain's recent decision to grant asylum to a former Ecuadorian soldier who was involved in a plot to overthrow the Venezuelan government. However, experts say that Trump's demand is unlikely to be enforced, as it would require the US to unilaterally impose trade sanctions on Spain, which is a key ally in the European Union. The move would likely face significant opposition from lawmakers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.
