Trump, in return, threatened to \u201ccut off all trade\u201d with Spain, though it was far from clear how his Administration could go about selectively targeting a member of the European Union. S\u00e1nchez seemed to revel in the clash. \u201cWe are not going to be complicit in something that is bad for the world and is also contrary to our values and interests, just out of fear of reprisals from someone,\u201d he insisted in a televised address. In early April, after the Administration agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Iran, the Prime Minister did not back down. \u201cThe government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=71\">The Confessions of Isaiah Rashad<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez\u2019s criticism of the war has set him up as a conspicuous foil to Trump. On multiple fronts, S\u00e1nchez, a photogenic Socialist who has been in power since 2018, cuts a stark political contrast. Trump has rejected as a \u201cscam\u201d the Joe Biden-era pivot toward investment in renewable energy, whereas S\u00e1nchez has presided over the doubling of solar- and wind-energy production in Spain since 2019. Trump demonizes immigrants and has launched a sweeping mass-deportation campaign that was cheered by the far right across Europe; S\u00e1nchez resists such nativism, and his government is in the midst of a program to give legal status to some half a million undocumented migrants living in Spain. Trump has derided international institutions and sees the United Nations as an impediment to U.S. interests; S\u00e1nchez declined Trump\u2019s invitation to join his \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d initiative, while offering a spirited defense of the U.N. system and the multipolar world it helps shape.<\/p>\n<p>Now, two and a half months after the start of the war, S\u00e1nchez\u2019s frustrations are broadly shared by his peers in Europe. The government of the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, widely seen as Trump\u2019s staunchest supporter among Western European leaders, thwarted U.S. bombers destined for the Middle East from using a strategically placed Sicilian airbase. Meloni also defended Pope Leo XIV, whom Trump has been attacking for his calls for peace, saying that the President\u2019s remarks were \u201cunacceptable.\u201d (Trump, when asked whether he would then consider cutting the number of U.S. troops in Spain and Italy, said, \u201cProbably.\u201d) Meanwhile, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, bemoaned Trump\u2019s \u201call over the place\u201d approach to the war, which he suggested lacks seriousness and is a font of geopolitical instability. The German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, cast it as a source of American humiliation, while his finance minister, Lars Klingbeil, blamed Trump\u2019s \u201cirresponsible war\u201d and the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for rising energy prices and for unleashing downstream economic chaos around the world. \u201cThis is a unilateral war\u201d about which \u201cno ally was even consulted or informed,\u201d Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, Spain\u2019s foreign minister, told me in an interview last week. \u201cIf you see what other European governments are saying, they are saying today what Spain has been saying since the very first day.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In Albares\u2019s telling, his government\u2019s stand is a matter of principle, consistency, and adherence to the importance of international law. Its convictions predate Trump\u2019s war-making in the Middle East. Spain has been critical of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and of Israel\u2019s wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and has backed the South African case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. It was among the first Western European countries to recognize Palestinian statehood, in 2024. This April, as S\u00e1nchez convened a gathering of progressive world leaders, including the Brazilian President, Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, he called on the E.U. to suspend its association agreement with Israel. While the Trump Administration imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a U.N. special rapporteur for Palestinian issues, because she had urged the International Criminal Court to investigate U.S. and Israeli companies and individuals for alleged complicity with human-rights violations and possible war crimes in Gaza, S\u00e1nchez awarded her the Order of Civil Merit, one of Spain\u2019s highest honors, earlier this month. When Trump cajoled <em>NATO<\/em> member states last year to raise their defense spending to five per cent of G.D.P., S\u00e1nchez was the only leader to balk at the demand. \u201cSometimes I see people saying, \u2018Well, there is an old order, and there is a new order,\u2019\u00a0\u201d Albares said. \u201cNo, there is a rules-based order, or there is the chaos of war, and that\u2019s a choice. There is a way of behaving in the world that is virtuous, in which everyone has their interests advanced, or there is the law of the jungle, and the stronger eats the weaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Some domestic critics accuse S\u00e1nchez\u2019s government of opportunistic grandstanding. As happened for center-left politicians from Canada to Australia, a confrontation with Trump could boost the Spanish Prime Minister\u2019s flagging fortunes at home. Elections are due by next year, and S\u00e1nchez technically leads a minority government that receives support from regional parties, but a potential right-wing bloc of mainstream and far-right parties could have a clear parliamentary majority, and oust S\u00e1nchez\u2019s ruling Socialists. Albares invoked a world where democratic \u201cvalues are really under threat outside Europe and inside Europe, with extreme right-wing forces that don\u2019t believe in tolerance, in pluralism, in diversity\u2014they don\u2019t believe in the core of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But S\u00e1nchez\u2019s tenure has been dogged by a string of scandals linked to a handful of close allies, involving separate allegations of graft, influence-peddling, and sexual harassment. And Spanish voters are preoccupied with a housing crisis, debates over services for migrants, and the government\u2019s handling of natural disasters, including floods in recent years that left hundreds of people dead. Under S\u00e1nchez\u2019s watch, the Spanish economy has become one of Europe\u2019s fastest-growing, though many analysts still assumed that he would no longer be able to stave off the right. But antipathy toward the American President exists across the country\u2019s otherwise polarized political spectrum. \u201cA few months ago, the chances for him to renew his mandate were very slim,\u201d Miguel Otero-Iglesias, a senior fellow at the Elcano Royal Institute, a prominent think tank in Madrid, told me. \u201cBut I think a lot of people believe that S\u00e1nchez is right in pushing back against Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=69\">Can Art Teach?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Spain has a distinctly different relationship with the United States than countries such as Britain, France, and Germany do. Spanish policy \u00e9lites sometimes see their nation \u201cas one of the most southern countries of the Global North,\u201d Otero-Iglesias said, better attuned to the aspirations and politics of Latin America and the Arab world, regions to which Spain has deep connections. Spain doesn\u2019t owe the United States as much, either. At the turn of the previous century, it lost its Caribbean and Pacific colonial holdings to the U.S. in the Spanish-American War. After the Second World War, Spain was not a beneficiary of the Marshall Plan, as it largely sat out the war under the leadership of the Fascist leader Francisco Franco. Josep Borrell, a Spanish former foreign minister and top E.U. diplomat, observed that, while the United States and the Catholic Church helped usher in Polish democracy, those same forces had bolstered decades of postwar fascism and dictatorship in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Spain sees itself not as a continental outlier but as a trendsetter. Albares told me that his government is aligned with its European allies in its focus on strengthening the Continent\u2019s capacity and \u201csovereignty\u201d in the face of a changing world and an increasingly unreliable America. That effort may include increased defense spending and a push toward the creation of an integrated European Army, separate from <em>NATO<\/em>\u2014a move that could be welcomed by many in Trump\u2019s camp. But it also means diversifying interests and investments away from the United States. \u201cWe have to look for new partners\u201d in response to Trumpist protectionism, Albares said, noting the expanding trade diplomacy with Latin America, India, and China.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an especially new vision: in 2019, I interviewed S\u00e1nchez on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, and he spoke then about how Europe must be more united and emboldened and \u201ccreate more balance\u201d in global politics. The need for this geopolitical emergence, he said, was only \u201cintensified\u201d by Trump\u2019s arrival on the world stage. Trump\u2019s second term has deepened the urgency, and S\u00e1nchez, as one of the heads of the so-called middle powers\u2014countries that, in the formulation of the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, should band together in the shadow of Trump\u2019s disruption\u2014may be trying to craft a new kind of global leadership. In April, S\u00e1nchez met with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, in Beijing and urged China to take greater initiative in addressing shared challenges such as climate change and the risks of new pandemics. Unlike other Western leaders\u2014and the foreign-policy establishment in Washington\u2014S\u00e1nchez sees China in more pragmatic terms rather than as necessarily a strategic rival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Albares argued that none of this ought to threaten Spain\u2019s many bonds to the United States. \u201cThe United States is the historical, natural ally of Europe. We would like it to continue being like that,\u201d he said, before adding a note of caution: \u201cThe transatlantic relationship has been based on values\u2014values of defending democracy, international law, peace and security. That\u2019s how we intend to carry things.\u201d But, he said, that relationship, in order to continue, needs countries that share those values \u201con both sides of the Atlantic.\u201d\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=67\">Was the Declaration of Independence Better Before the Edits?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ishaan Tharoor on Pedro S\u00e1nchez, Spain\u2019s Socialist Prime Minister, who has been a prominent opponent to European involvement in the Iran war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-lede"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
