NATO has said that no country can be removed or suspended from the alliance because its founding rules do not allow it. This statement came after a report suggested that the United States was considering action against Spain. The report claimed that Spain did not fully support the US during its conflict with Iran. According to the report, a US official mentioned an internal Pentagon email that discussed possible ways to pressure allies. These included limiting cooperation or reducing support for certain countries. Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, rejected the report. He said Spain only follows official decisions, not leaked emails. He also added that Spain supports its allies but always respects international law. Spain had refused to allow the US to use its military bases for attacks on Iran. This caused tension between the two countries. Former US President Donald Trump has also criticized NATO allies in the past, saying they do not do enough to support the US. Meanwhile, the UK has taken a more supportive role, allowing the US to use its bases and helping in defense operations. Overall, NATO has made it clear that even if there are disagreements between countries, no member can be kicked out of the alliance.
