ANKARA ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump threw a summit of NATO leaders into disarray on Wednesday as he demanded the United States cut trade ties with Spain and made renewed claims on Greenland, irking Denmark, another NATO ally.
Speaking in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Trump called Madrid a ¡°terrible partner¡± in NATO as he railed against allies for not supporting the war on Iran and ordered Treasury Secretary ?Scott Bessent to halt all trade with Spain.
Trump¡¯s remarks, also declaring the fragile ceasefire with Iran to be over, overshadowed a summit that European leaders had hoped would ?project ?unity and support for Ukraine and look past a series of rows that have threatened to tear the military alliance apart.
