18.04.2025Day of Trump's Ukraine Peace Ultimatum
Trump's ultimatum to abandon Ukraine-Russia peace talks "in a matter of days" if no progress materializes dominated Spanish media, with RTVE repeatedly publishing the story throughout the day. This marked a dramatic shift from Trump's previous promise to end the war "in 24 hours" to now suggesting he'll "move on to something else."

Morning coverage featured Trump's meeting with Italian PM Meloni, signaling a potential breakthrough in EU tariff negotiations, with Trump calling Meloni his "friend" and expressing optimism for "100%" agreement. This diplomatic advancement follows yesterday's ECB rate cut explicitly designed to counter Trump's tariff threats.

Other significant stories included Israel's continued military operations in Gaza one month after breaking the ceasefire, wealthy foreigners shifting property investments from Mediterranean regions to northern Spain, and Sevilla's Holy Week processions marking Good Friday.
