Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is sticking by his decision to break with NATO allies this week from spending more on defense.

THE HAGUE (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States will make Spain pay twice as much for a trade deal after the country's refusal to meet a NATO defense spending target of 5% of gross domestic product.

"We're negotiating with Spain on a trade deal and we're going to make them pay twice as much," Trump said after the country refused to meet the spending target.
