The day was dominated by Trump's sudden reversal on Spain. After threatening to cut all trade, he declared Spain 'redeemed' for agreeing to a significant NATO payment. This shift saturated headlines from early morning, with outlets like El País, La Vanguardia, and El Mundo reporting the praise. By afternoon, attention turned to the UCO implicating Sánchez's former chief of staff, Juanma Serrano, in the 'enchufe' of Leire at Correos, covered by El Español, El Mundo, and RTVE. Simultaneously, the prosecution requested acquittal for Begoña Gómez. In the evening, the World Cup semifinal between France and Morocco drew focus, with Mbappé and Dembélé scoring. The day saw a rapid cycle from diplomatic crisis to domestic scandal to sports.
