Why Europe is finally standing up to Donald Trump

? Listen to This Is Why on your podcast app ?

The United States may have launched strikes on Iran this week, but Donald Trump also found time for a war of words.

This time, it was with the prime ministers of the UK and Spain - after they refused to allow America access to their airbases ahead of the attack.

Sir Keir Starmer and Pedro Sanchez have responded with some tough words of their own - so why are they and other European leaders finally standing up to the US president?

Niall is joined by Sky's military analyst Michael Clarke.
