27.06.2025Day Trump Guaranteed Spanish Compliance
Following the Constitutional Court's amnesty validation, internal Socialist Party fractures deepened as Patxi López invited Felipe González to leave the PSOE for opposing the measure. González declared he would not vote for his own party, calling the amnesty an "outrage."

Trump escalated pressure on Spanish defense spending, moving from threats to certainty by declaring he "guarantees" Spain will meet the 5% NATO target after previously "trying to avoid putting up the money." This represented a shift from coercion to assured expectations.

Spain's first major heat wave of 2025 reached 44°C with torrid nights of 25°C minimums, affecting three-quarters of municipalities. The extreme June temperatures were described as unprecedented for the month.

The US Supreme Court strengthened Trump's position by limiting federal judges' power to block his agenda. Meanwhile, Spain announced a 5-billion-euro antimissile defense system proceeding without Israeli participation as regional tensions continued.
