Why Trump's attacks on Spain also reverberate in Mallorca — a reality check

Answer

Why do people in Palma talk about US-Spain politics when the issue seems far away?

Because Mallorca is closely tied to tourism, trade and international confidence, so distant politics can still touch daily life. A dispute between Washington and Madrid may sound abstract, but it can affect prices, business planning and the mood of residents. That is why conversations in Palma often turn quickly from headlines to practical worries.
