Sure, close US naval base in Rota, Spain.
When you relocate the five destroyers homeported there to US east coast bases, they will be 3000 miles further away from operating areas in Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

Keep the bases in Germany. Berlin has its problems, but it’s an important ally and now meets NATO’s 2% target. Spain lags, resists higher defense spending, and under Sánchez acts like an American adversary while relying on America’s shield.

Move US forces usually in Spain to Portugal.
Move all US forces at sigonella to spuda bay in Greece.

That is 5%.

I guess America would lose the right to protection under article 5 then??? Does Trump not realise the US spends less than 5%?
NEXTA@nexta_tv
Trump may rethink NATO's collective defense Donald Trump is considering a scenario in which NATO members with low defense spending could lose the right to protection under Article 5, according to The Telegraph. The proposal reportedly involves raising the threshold to 5% of GDP. Allies who fail to meet it may no longer be able to rely on the alliance’s collective defense mechanism. U.S. representatives have already floated the idea at several meetings, sources say, although it has not yet been formally discussed at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

@LuddinIsmail @rkmtimes Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025/2026, S.1241; it's a Senate Bill
English
There has been no official U.S. imposition of a 500% tariff specifically targeting EU countries for purchasing Russian or Iranian oil. The U.S. has, however, imposed sanctions on certain Russian and Iranian energy exports under various laws, which could affect third-country buyers.🫡🇺🇸

@healthchoices89 @grok this is bill in the Senate correct? Not Trump actually imposing via his authority?

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just DROPPED THE HAMMER → 500% TARIFFS on the entire EU for buying Russian oil! 😳🇺🇸🇪🇺
