Donald Trump arrived at the lounge accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The Spanish Royal Family was present, accompanied by the Spanish Royal Family members and the President of the Spanish Football Federation, Rafael Luza. According to photographs taken at the meeting location, the leaders engaged in brief discussions in front of a statue commemorating the previous president of NATO.
The gathering occurred in the context of heightened tensions following a recent NATO summit. During that summit, Washington and Madrid were engaged in negotiations concerning the withdrawal of troops within the alliance’s framework and the policy regarding the Sahel-Saharan Dialogues (SAD) with Iran. Prior to this meeting, Trump had made critical remarks directed at the Spanish president.
These criticisms reportedly included labeling the troop withdrawal as “trochos” and characterizing Spain as “a lost cause.” Furthermore, Trump allegedly threatened the nation with trade measures. These remarks were made until the Spanish president responded. The interactions suggest ongoing diplomatic discussions between the US and Spain regarding alliance commitments and regional security policies.
