Spain has drawn a firm red line against U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly unveiled Board of Peace, declining to join the initiative announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the decision reflects Madrid’s commitment to multilateralism, international law, and the United Nations, while pointing to what he called fundamental flaws — including the exclusion of the Palestinian Authority. The move comes as Trump publicly singled out Spain over NATO defence spending and promoted the board as a new pathway to Middle East stability, even as many of Washington’s closest allies stayed away. In Brussels, Sánchez accused the United States of disregarding international law, warned of rising transatlantic tensions, and rejected any attempt to decide Greenland’s future through pressure or coercion. As Europe debates unity, defence, and sovereignty, Spain’s refusal highlights a growing divide over how far Trump’s global initiatives can reshape diplomacy — and who is willing to follow.
