🇪🇸🇺🇸Trump Criticizes Spanish Economy Despite It Outpacing USA Growth President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Spain, citing its poor economic performance and low defense spending. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump described Spain's financial numbers as 'horrendous,' directly linking them to the nation's minimal contributions to NATO. This criticism reflects his long-standing position that European allies must meet their defense spending financial obligations to ensure the strength of the alliance. The comments come as data shows Spain's economy has outgrown the American counterpart for two consecutive years, with its 2.8% growth in 2025 outpacing the US figure of 2.1%.
