Three reasons, including Gibraltar, why the US should recall its ambassador to Spain
This is stated in an article by Tom Rogan in the Washington Examiner.
He writes: While these diplomatic recalls from an erstwhile ally would be a big deal, three concerns stand out here.
THREATENING AMERICA'S CLOSEST ALLY
And it goes on to say: It gets worse. Absurdly, while Spain plays nice with Putin, it is also threatening America's closest ally, Britain. The Spanish Navy is escalating its intrusion into British territorial waters surrounding Gibraltar. This confrontational behaviour represents an absurd nationalism that sees authoritarian adversaries as allies, and democratic allies as foes.
Pompeo has a responsibility to repudiate this activity. Recalling the two top U.S. diplomats from Madrid might help alter Spain's behaviour. If not, it would at least inform the Trump administration's course toward altering a defective alliance, the article ends.
