Trump may have intended to isolate Pedro Sánchez internationally, but his latest attack on Spain has achieved something far rarer: uniting much of the country’s fractured political class. The opposition still blames Sánchez for provoking Washington by resisting Nato’s new 5% defence spending target, while Vox says relations with the US have suffered. Spain remains among Nato’s lowest defence spenders and insists it can meet military commitments without reaching Nato’s spending goal. For Sánchez, battling Trump is awkward yet politically useful. Trump casts Sánchez as Europe’s chief defence free rider.
