Сообщено ИИ
US President Donald Trump has voiced strong dissatisfaction with Spain for refusing to commit to raising defense spending to 5% of GDP, threatening tariffs as punishment. During a White House meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei, Trump called Spain's stance disrespectful to NATO. Spain secured an exception at the Alliance's June summit to keep spending at 2.1%.
