Spain's leader sticks by decision to break with NATO spending goal despite Trump tariff threats
MADRID -- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez walked away from this week's NATO summit with an opt-out from spending more on defense. He also left with fresh threats of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. On Thursday, the progressive Spanish leader stuck by his decision to break with NATO allies and responded to Trump's comments by pointing out that the European Commission — and not Spain — was who decided the bloc's trade policy. 'What is clear is that trade policy is a policy directed from here, from Brussels,' Sánchez said. "Spain is an open country. It is a country that is friendly to its friends, and we consider the United States a friend of Spain.' At the military alliance's summit Wednesday, members agreed to raise their defense spending to 5% of GDP. But Sánchez secured a last-minute exemption, saying that Spain will only spend up to 2.1%, which he called 'sufficient and realistic.' Trump criticized Spain after the summit, saying the country wanted 'a little bit of a free ride,' and that it would 'have to pay it back to us on trade" through higher tariffs. How Sánchez's gamble could play out was up for debate on Thursday. 'It is not always easy to interpret exactly what Mr. Trump means,' Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever told reporters at an EU summit. 'How he wants to impose import tariffs on Spain separately is a mystery to everyone. Could this perhaps concern specific products from Spain? We will have to wait and see.' Spain's move on the international stage comes at a complex moment for Sánchez at home as corruption cases involving his inner circle have ensnared his Socialist party and resulted in louder calls — even from some leftwing allies — to announce early elections. So far, Sánchez has refused. 'To Trump's theatre, Sánchez responds with something similar," said Montserrat Nebrera, political analyst and professor of constitutional law at the International University of Catalonia. 'Domestic problems are piling up, and this resistance to meeting the arbitrary 5% target also seeks to wink at his partners most critical of defense spending." Spain was NATO's lowest spender last year, according to the alliance's estimates, spending around 1.28% of its GDP on defense expenditure. In April, Sánchez announced that the country would reach 2% this year, for which he was criticized by some leftwing allies. On Thursday, Antonio Garamendi, president of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations, criticized Sánchez for the spending opt-out. 'We have to stick with with our allies and not going along with the other Europeans is an error, and even more so if that increases the chance we will be punished,' Garamendi said. While Spain is under the umbrella of the European Union, which negotiates trade deals on behalf of all 27 member countries, it could still be targeted by tariffs that hit its most vulnerable industries, Garamendi said. Spanish steel, cars and olive oil sectors are among the exposed products. 'There are industries that can be impacted, and that has to concern us,' he added.

Delft University of Technology Joins Dassault Systemes' 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence Program, Boosting Tomorrow's Aerospace Workforce
The Netherlands' largest university of technology is deploying Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform for its experiential and lifelong learning programs New opportunities for students and professionals to develop in-demand digital skills will help drive the digital transformation of industry in the generative economy TU Delft will develop programs with industry partners at SAM XL, its campus-based field lab for smart advanced manufacturing, helping to reduce the skills gap VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, June 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, and Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands' largest university of technology, today announced that TU Delft became the 28th member of Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence global program, creating a unique opportunity for Dutch students and professionals to develop in-demand digital skills in aerospace, manufacturing automation and other sectors. The 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence label recognizes TU Delft as the first educational institution in the Netherlands to provide proven expertise in using and deploying Dassault Systèmes' cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform for experiential and lifelong learning. TU Delft also becomes the first member to adhere to the revised charter of the program, which distinguishes a member's knowledge of virtual twins and the best practices emerging in generative industries. "We're proud to become the first 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence in the Netherlands. It helps us to meet the growing demand for skilled talent to lead the digital transformation and accelerated innovation for a wide range of industries, from aviation to maritime, and the smart and flexible automation of manufacturing," said Henri Werij, Dean Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft. Stronger collaboration between industry, academia and technology leaders is crucial to develop innovative learning approaches that enhance employability and accelerate upskilling. Today's aerospace industry, in particular, requires highly skilled labor to sustain a culture of innovation, but faces challenges in replacing a retiring workforce to reduce the skills gap. Since its launch in 2021, the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program has trained thousands of graduates. As a 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence, TU Delft will develop programs bridging education and practice at SAM XL, its campus-based field lab focused on smart advanced manufacturing. Starting in September 2025, programs will engage university departments, applied sciences institutions and industry partners, applying the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to industry-relevant use cases. Students will learn to work with virtual twins, supported by platform-certified instructors, to prepare them for evolving and future jobs, while professionals in the lifelong learning curriculum of the university can upskill. "We're thrilled to welcome TU Delft and its SAM XL field lab into our 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program. This partnership leverages our ambition to provide 3D UNIV+RSES that combine virtual twins, industry-driven AI, and real-world applications to prepare future engineers for the generative economy. By co-developing programs with industry partners at SAM XL, TU Delft is helping close the skills gap and accelerate digital transformation. Together, we are shaping the next generation of aerospace excellence," said Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice-President, Industry, Marketing and Sustainability, Dassault Systèmes.
