Gavin Newsom as tensions between Madrid and Washington continue to simmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00e1nchez was invited to the reception, held during the United Nations General Assembly, but his government said the invitation arrived only after his schedule had already been set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe is not going to attend that dinner, but basically because the invitation arrived a few days ago, when the whole trip was already prepared,\u201d Spanish government spokeswoman Elma Saiz said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/espana\/2026-09-22\/sanchez-no-asistira-a-la-recepcion-que-ofrece-trump-por-la-asamblea-de-la-onu.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">El Pa\u00eds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scheduling explanation did little to quiet speculation that the move carried a political message. El Pa\u00eds reported that the meetings cited by S\u00e1nchez\u2019s team \u2014 including sit-downs with Newsom and Apple CEO Tim Cook \u2014 were not listed on the prime minister\u2019s public schedule. The newspaper characterized his absence as a political decision, although S\u00e1nchez\u2019s office has not described it as a boycott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newsom Meeting Takes Aim At Trump Agenda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Trump hosted foreign leaders, S\u00e1nchez met with Newsom and signed a memorandum expanding cooperation between Spain and California on clean energy, battery storage, methane reduction, carbon markets and climate resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newsom\u2019s office announced the agreement in a sharply worded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2026\/09\/22\/as-trump-undermines-americas-alliances-and-energy-security-governor-newsom-builds-lasting-global-partnerships-at-climate-week-nyc\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> accusing Trump of undermining American alliances and energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt a moment of increasing global instability, California will continue building strong relationships with partners around the globe to build a cleaner, more prosperous, more secure future,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democratic governor has emerged as one of Trump\u2019s most visible political adversaries and is frequently discussed as a possible 2028 presidential contender. His office used the New York meeting to contrast California\u2019s climate policies with the Trump administration\u2019s approach to energy and the war in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S\u00e1nchez Blasts Trump\u2019s U.N. Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00e1nchez also criticized Trump\u2019s address to the General Assembly, calling it \u201cvery ideological\u201d and \u201cnot backed and supported by facts and data\u201d during an appearance on Jon Stewart\u2019s <em>The Weekly Show<\/em> podcast, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/efe.com\/mundo\/2026-09-23\/pedro-sanchez-trump-onu\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EFE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen he speaks about climate change, or the war in Iran, or the things that are going on in the Middle East, his political positions are not, let\u2019s say, largely supported by many countries worldwide,\u201d S\u00e1nchez said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump used his speech to defend his administration\u2019s Iran policy, challenge international climate policies and press other nations to put their own interests first. S\u00e1nchez, by contrast, used his U.N. appearances to call for broader multilateral cooperation and defend international institutions, according to Spain\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamoncloa.gob.es\/presidente\/actividades\/Paginas\/2026\/220926-pedro-sanchez-naciones-unidas-p4m.aspx?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official government account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two leaders were already at odds over NATO spending. Trump blasted Spain in 2025 after S\u00e1nchez resisted the alliance\u2019s new defense-spending target, accusing Madrid of seeking a \u201cfree ride\u201d and warning that Spain could pay more in trade negotiations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/trump-warns-spain-pay-up-defense-pay-twice-much-trade-negotiations?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox Business reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their relationship deteriorated further over the Iran war, which S\u00e1nchez has publicly opposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00e1nchez also skipped Trump\u2019s U.N. reception last year, when Spain\u2019s King Felipe VI led the country\u2019s delegation. He had attended receptions hosted by President Joe Biden in 2022 and 2023, according to El Pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, the contrast was difficult to miss: S\u00e1nchez passed on Trump\u2019s gathering, criticized the president\u2019s speech and spent part of his evening signing a climate agreement with a Democrat who has built a national profile by confronting the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez skipped President Donald Trump\u2019s reception for world leaders in New York on Tuesday, choosing instead to meet with California Gov.
