Spain has agreed to cooperate with the US military, White House said, a day after President Donald Trump suggested imposing a trade embargo on Madrid over its refusal to allow US aircraft to use jointly operated naval and air bases in southern Spain.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday the United States and Israel were in a strong position in their war with Iran, vowing that they would “continue forward” against the Islamic republic.

A diplomatic tussle between the US and Spain over the war in Iran intensified on Wednesday when the governments exchanged contradictory statements over the possible use of Spanish military bases by US armed forces for operations in the Middle East.
