A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Main exports:
USA to Spain: Petroleum
Spain to USA: Refined Petroleum
Now, I'm sure this is bad business for both parts, but it's a helluva lot worse practically for USA to be without refined petroleum than it is for Spain not to have petroleum to refine.
Anyway, I'll make sure to eat double the amount of Spanish tomatoes this week.
Idiotic move. It won't harm Spain without also cutting trade with the entire EU and even Morocco.
Just goes to show how stupid Trump is
Good. I wish the rest of Europe was this based.
That is not just politically impossible, oh the lawsuits, but physically impossible. Not for weeks at the very least. His attention span is approximately 18 hours. So TACO.
This is a bullshit without context.
Cutting off trade with Spain would mean cutting off trade with the whole EU.
So this is embarrassing non-news.
Only thing I saw in a German headline article at all about this topic was a comment about how Merz did not tell Trump that fact (again...🙄) directly at the mentioned meeting.
The US company I work for is a massive multinational manufacturing corporation with factories all over the world, including Spain. What the fuck are supposed to do, cut ties with our own facilities, because the orange pig is throwing a tantrum?
Trade will continue on as normal. He can't actually unilaterally stop trade by decree but the fucking news media will never tell you that.
¡Viva españa!
FUCK USA, FUCK ISRAEL AND FUCK IRAN regime! go fuck your selfs! People are dying for you to play games! fuck off. FUCK USA.
I stand with spain and the rest of Europe.
Trump, also known as the senile orange shitstrain hitler toddler… the name is getting longer and longer…
Hey, if anyone in Spain wants to hack the US and leak the Epstein files, please do.
no great loss for spain.
I don't buy a lot of Spanish products... but I do live outside of the fucked US and can. what's the easiest way for me to start supporting them?
Oh well. Fuck the US. I’d literally take anything from Spain over anything from the USA any day.
Spain: the country where cojones come from.
Didn't the Supreme Court just say that was illegal?
The shithead makes it a lot easier for China, every day.
Now their girls are safe
