Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Friday that "loyal cooperation" should prevail over "confrontation" in relations with the United States after tensions over Madrid's opposition to Washington's use of its bases against Iran.

Relations should take place "with respect, in a spirit of loyal cooperation and on an equal footing", he added during a joint news conference with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
