Well, not the pedophile himself, but the country is their 6th largest trade partner. 5% of your exports is a lot to lose all at once.
But it's also stupid af on Trump's part. Spain has more to lose, but the US loses out on trade too. Generally speaking, unless we're talking about straight up colonialism, trade usually benefits both parties.
@AmidFuror@fedia.io he simply cannot do it, since Spain belongs to the EU and cutting treaties with one of the partners would in practice break all trade agreements with the entire union, simply trash talk as usual with the orange pedophile.
