WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — President Donald Trump said he has directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to halt trade with Spain, citing disagreements over NATO and recent foreign policy issues.
While Spain is not one of the United States’ largest agricultural trading partners, USDA data show it remains an important market for U.S. almonds, corn, soybeans, cotton and livestock feed ingredients.
Spain exports olive oil, wine, table olives and pork to the United States, while also serving as one of Europe’s largest livestock producers and a key buyer of feed grains.
