  • The Pentagon's proposal to sideline Spain within NATO is more a reflection of polarized forefront than beneficial for the Alliance.
  • The problem is not disapproving of Trump, but turning the disagreement into a permanent confrontation, reinforcing a domestic narrative.
  • The irritation and distrust of some sectors of the US Defence are due to Spain's refusal to provide certain capabilities related to the operation in Iran.
  • The Spanish proposal to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement failed.

Conclusion: Spain's polarizing foreign policy and readiness for confrontation breeds mistrust and potentially weakens the Alliance. This adds to an image of volatility, which damages European unity at a time that requires more coordination and less drama.
