This is The Guardian.
Today, the one European leader brave enough to stand up to Trump.
When the US and Israel audaciously attacked Iran just over two weeks ago,
There was very little in the way of condemnation from Western leaders.
Wary of riling Trump and careful not to jeopardise alliances, most opted to stay quiet.
I can say we're doing everything and have done everything we can at speed to make sure that we are properly protecting our citizens.
The US and the British in joint bases where we're jointly located.
Except for one.
Pedro Sánchez.
We will not be complicit in something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests just
because we might fear reprisals from some.
And it's not the first time the Spanish prime minister has criticised the Trump administration.
He objected to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
President Trump seems to be the one who's saying, I'm making the decisions about Venezuela.
Yeah, and I think this is a mistake.
He condemned Israel's decimation of Gaza.
It's in Israel's interest to work for peace.
And today peace means the establishment of the Palestine state.
When much of Europe has towed Trump's line, Spain's leader has become an outlier on the world stage.
How come and why now?
