Spain’s Sanchez to Attend World Cup Final Alongside Trump Amid Tensions
Sánchez will join Trump and Spain’s royal family in the VIP box as diplomatic tensions persist over defence spending and Iran policy.
- On Sunday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and President Donald Trump will meet at the World Cup final in New Jersey, where Trump could present the trophy to the Spanish team facing Argentina.
- Diplomatic friction persists between the leaders over defense spending and Iran conflict, as Trump has repeatedly criticized Spain for refusing to commit to NATO's 5% GDP defense target.
- At an earlier NATO summit in Ankara, Trump instructed advisers to "cut off all trade with Spain, including visits." He later softened his tone, calling Spain's payments "very generous."
- Tensions stem from Sanchez denying the United States use of military bases and airspace during the attack on Iran, though his government maintains it seeks the best possible relations with allies.
- The Spanish royal family, including King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia, have confirmed their attendance at the final, elevating the event's high-profile nature.
