World News Actuality Presented By Claire Evren French President Emmanuel Macron expressed support for Spain after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to “cut off all trade with Spain”



Élysée Palace said French President Emmanuel Macron had conveyed his “solidarity” with Spain, during a phone conversation with Sánchez on Wednesday.

 

 

“The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs – nobody is. The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality.”

“You cannot answer one illegality with another, because that is how the great catastrophes of humanity begin.”

Spain’s Socialist prime minister explained that the government’s position was comparable to its stance on Ukraine and Gaza. Sánchez has been a vociferous critic of Israel’s military response to the Hamas attacks in 2023.
