Trump Again Lambasts "Very Disrespectful" Spain, Threatens "Punishment Through Tariffs"

"President Trump has again put Spain in the spotlight in some Tuesday afternoon comments which again included the threat of economic isolation and punishment. He went so far as to call out the NATO country for being "very disrespectful".
"I'm very unhappy with Spain. They're the only country that didn't raise up their number to 5 percent. Every other country in NATO raised up to 5 percent... It wouldn't matter if you said you're not gonna protect them because they're pretty much protected, you know," he began
"What you're gonna do? Go through the other countries and 'let's go attack Spain,' right?" he then questioned. "So I think what they did is not nice, I think it's very disrespectful to NATO."
And that's when Trump threatened, "In fact, I was thinking about giving them trade punishment through tariffs because of what they did, and I may do that... I think they should be punished for that, yes.
