EU scrambles to defend Spain from Trump’s embargo menace President Donald Trump’s threat to cut all ties with Spain after it opposed his war on Iran again puts the bloc’s unity to the test.

"It’s not immediately clear how Trump could, even if he wanted to, impose a watertight embargo on Spain β€” since the EU functions as a barrier-free common market of 27 nations it would in practice be quite easy to circumvent it."

So much for thinking things through.
