Trump Criticizes Spain and UK, Calls Spain a 'Lost Cause'

Donald Trump strongly criticized Spain and Keir Starmer in an interview with the New York Post. He labeled Spain a 'lost cause' and 'very hostile to NATO,' accusing it of insufficient defense spending and a lack of teamwork. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, for not allowing the US to use British military bases in an operation against Iran, arguing that such facilities should have been offered unconditionally. Trump stated that while some countries support the alliance, Spain and the United Kingdom are disappointing. He reiterated his belief that he will choose the next leader of Iran, deeming current efforts ineffective.
