At present, various internal crises are coming in the United States, but this has not affected the United StatesInternationalMobility on stage. The United States not only actively participated in the conflict in Ukraine, but also led the formation of the "Red Sea Escort Alliance". But Spain, a country that the United States calls a "participating country," does not give the United States any face. Through two consecutive rebuttals, Spain made it clear that it would not participate in the "Red Sea Escort Alliance". This is a clear response from Spain to the United States, showing a non-confrontational attitude and a firm position.
Spain's Globo reported that at Israel's request, the United States launched a "crackdown on the Houthis."Armed"Action. And the United StatesMinistry of DefenseAfter a recent visit to the Middle East, the chief announced that he had signed an agreement with nine allies to form a joint "MilitaryAlliance". Spain, France, Italy and six other countries will join the action, he said. However, France and Italy have publicly refuted, emphasizing that they will only act alone and will not be under the command of the United States. SpainMinistry of Defensealso responded that the ** team will not be involved in the so-called "Red Sea operation", and Spain will only cooperateEuropean Unionand NATO'sMilitaryactivities, the United States is not included.
In the face of the opposition of these three countries, the United States did not give an explanation, but instead announced that the number of countries that joined the alliance increased to more than 20, and ironically, the list published by the United States still included Spain. This led Spain to further emphasize its position of "non-participation in the Red Sea Alliance". It can be seen that there are obvious contradictions between Spain and the United States, and relations between the two countries are not friendly.
Prior to this, Spain** announced that their law enforcement agencies had gone into action and arrested several suspectsEspionageof the Americans, and exposed an American",Espionagenetwork" to prevent more Spanish ** from being spied on. This is not the first time that a wiretapping incident has been involved, as beforeU.S. *** BureauYesEuropean UnionThe state has launched a large-scale surveillance operation, including among Spain** and citizens, covering the content of phone calls, text messages, e-mails and other communications. These surveillance acts not only violate the privacy rights of Spanish citizens, but also damage Spain's sovereignty. Spain** demanded that the United States stop the eavesdropping, but the United States did not respond immediately, further fueling the discontent of Spain** and the public.
Although the United States has not officially acknowledged the existence of the eavesdropping, the dissatisfaction of Spain** and the public with the United States has not abated. Many Spaniards believe that the US surveillance is a violation of Spain's national sovereignty and demand retaliatory measures. This has made relations between Spain and the United States even more strained.
In addition to the issue of surveillance, there are many other differences between Spain and the United States. One of the problems is:Gibraltar, which was a British overseas territory, but which Spain had always claimed. GibraltarThe controversy led to tensions between Spain and Great Britain, and the United States' support for Britain on the issue provoked discontent in Spain.
In addition, Spain and the United States are both members of NATO, but the two countries disagree on the issue of NATO's military costing. The United States demanded that NATO members increase military spending to 2% of GDP, but Spain** opposed this request, arguing that it would put too much pressure on the economy.

Despite the fact that the United States is inInternationalActive on the stage, but Spain's attitude towards it is resolute and clear. By not participating in the statement of the "Red Sea Escort Alliance" as well as disclosureEspionageevent, Spain made it clear that it would not budge. Surveillance incidents, territorial disputes, military sharing issues, and contradictions between the two sides have further heightened tensions in the relationship. The Spanish public's discontent with the United States is united and calls for action to safeguard the country's sovereignty and interests. In the current complexInternationalUnder such circumstances, Spain must maintain a firm stance and seek cooperation and support from other countries in order to safeguard its own security and interests.
