I can’t find anything about Trump and Spain, did he throw a tantrum because Spain is not letting bases in their territory be used to attack Iran? ---

That article didn’t include the part where he threatened to invade Spain. “And now Spain actually said that we can’t use their bases,” he continued. “And that’s not all right. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it.
