Spain is positioning itself in the opposite corner to Donald Trump’s government on issues ranging from Palestine to gender equality quotas.

Mr Sánchez has made a series of speeches in recent days aimed at creating a polarising contrast between his progressive Madrid government and the aggressive new team in Washington DC .

Prime Minister Sánchez is a political survivor, but drawing the ire of Mr Trump could be his biggest gamble yet.

The 52-year-old has negotiated his way through seven years as prime minister without ever coming close to a parliamentary majority.

His Left-wing coalition requires support of all regional Basque and Catalan parties, which are not all Left-leaning.
