USA ikke fornøyde med at Spania stopper USAs "gun running" til Israel som USA kaller "Commerce"- AP

 

Dette er vel typisk USA som ønsker å gjøre som de selv vil, men andre nasjoner ikke er så veldig glade for. Amerikanske våpen brukes for å bidra til israels åpenbare terrorisering og drap av palestinere, en virksomhet som er under lupen til  den høyeste, internasjonale rettsinstans, som verken USA eller Israel har godkjent. USA peker på Spania som et NATO land uten selv å erkjenne at de selv er et NATO land som bidrar til hæslige og ulovlige handlinger i Midt Østen. Bravo til Spania. (Red.)

US opens investigation into Spain’s reported port denials of cargo ships carrying arms to Israel

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States has opened an investigation into whether NATO ally Spain has been denying port entry to cargo vessels reportedly transporting U.S. weapons to Israel.

The Federal Maritime Commission, an independent body charged with monitoring and evaluating conditions that may affect shipping and U.S. international trade, said it had opened the probe after receiving information that Spain had refused to allow at least three cargo vessels into its ports.

“The commission is concerned that this apparent policy of denying entry to certain vessels will create conditions unfavorable to shipping in the foreign trade,” it said Thursday in a notice published in the Federal Register.

If the investigation determines that Spain has interfered with such commerce, the commission could levy millions of dollars in fines, up to $2.3 million per voyage, it said.

The notice said the commission had been informed on Nov. 19 that Spain was denying port entry to ships, including those enrolled in the U.S.-run Maritime Security Program, which is supposed to afford vessels and their owners protection against “restrictive and discriminatory” licensing because their services are often used by the U.S. military.
