TLDR

  • Trump threatened to cut all trade with Spain after it banned U.S. aircraft from using its bases for strikes on Iran
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told to “cut off all dealings with Spain”
  • Spain’s PM Sánchez called the U.S.-Israel strikes “unjustified and dangerous” and said Spain won’t be complicit
  • Sánchez warned the conflict risks playing “Russian roulette with the destiny of millions”
  • The dispute has strained relations between two NATO allies during an active military conflict

Trump threatened to cut all trade with Spain on Tuesday after the country blocked U.S. aircraft from using its military bases for strikes against Iran.

Trump made the comments during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House.

U.S. aircraft had already departed Spanish military bases on Monday after Spanish officials said the installations could not be used for offensive operations against Iran.

Spain had previously rejected a NATO proposal to raise defense spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called that target “not only unreasonable but also counterproductive.”

Spain Pushes Back on Trump’s Threats

On Wednesday, Sánchez addressed the nation in a televised speech, doubling down on Spain’s opposition to the strikes.

Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares confirmed Spain would not allow its bases to be used in operations against Iran, despite supporting democracy and rights for the Iranian people.

The Broader Conflict

The U.S. and Israel began strikes on targets in Iran on Saturday. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed early in the operation.

Iran has retaliated with aerial attacks on Israel, U.S. military bases, embassies, and targets in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.

At least six U.S. service members have died after an Iranian strike hit a makeshift operations center in Kuwait.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
