19.02.2025Dance of Trump and Zelensky
Morning coverage centered on Europe's military spending plans, with PP leaders pushing for budgets beyond 3%. The Trump-Zelensky confrontation escalated throughout the day, beginning with Trump blaming Ukraine for the war. Zelensky responded by accusing Trump of living in a "disinformation bubble," leading to Trump branding him a "dictator" and warning Ukraine could disappear if it doesn't "act quickly."

These exchanges occurred against the backdrop of US-Russia negotiations in Riyadh, from which Europe remains excluded. Spanish media tracked domestic implications, including Trump's proposed tariffs threatening €45 million in Catalan food exports.

The evening shifted to Mbappé's hat-trick against Manchester City, while continuing coverage of Trump's increasing influence over European affairs and the reshaping of international order persisted in background reporting.
