Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares travels to Brussels for talks with EU Trade Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis following Algeria’s suspension of trade relations with Spain. This decision stems from Spain’s shifting stance on Western Sahara. Albares emphasized the need for a calm yet firm response, as the government evaluates the implications of Algeria’s move. His agenda was altered, leading to his absence from the Summit of the Americas, where State Secretary Pilar Cancela will represent Spain instead.
