It probably is Gleditsia. The Weeds database states it has simple or branched spines ro 18 cm long. Also the leaflets can be up to 38 mm long. None of the other similar species it mentions have spines anywhere near that large. https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/media/Html/gleditsia_triacanthos.htm

I think the two paired spines along the stem are distinctive of Robinia

I wonder why the Weeds database did not mention Robinia as similar to Gleditsia.
