The new rates of Donald Trump: live reactions | Sánchez announces that it will mobilize 14,100 million euros against the US rates | International
The body advances a “safety network” for Spanish companies to drop the rates and “relaunch them”
The Minister of the Spanish Economy, Carlos Body, complained about the tariff war unleashed on Wednesday by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who will cause “a more fragmented and poor world”, but has advanced that Spain will tend to “a security network” for the most affected sectors, to help short -term, to help them in the short term and to “to help” try to access new members.
In an interview with Rne, Body said that Trump’s decision “unjust and unjustified” to impose rates and has shown the disposition of the Spanish government to “reach a negotiated solution” on the matter. “But if there is no place for negotiations, we will take measures to protect our companies and consumers,” he said. In any case, he believes that the announcement of the rates and that we are facing a “historical moment in which the economic and geopolitical world order is redefined before which it is” very important “that the EU gives a” united “response is facing a” united “response if he wants to have a leadership position.” It can be a window of opportunity and we have the conditions to take advantage of it, “he said.
In this sense, he announced a “security network” for the sectors of the Spanish economy more affected, both to fall immediately and to be strengthened for the future. He spoke of “relaunching these sectors” with “positive vision”, with Spanish and European measures to facilitate access to new markets, accelerating the ratification of the EU agreement with Mercosur and looking for strategic partners, as well as with the “use” of the internal markets, in particular the EU.
In any case, the body called “tranquility” and underlined that the impact of the rates must be analyzed with the affected sectors, since there are “many edges” that can be added, as a strong dollar can favor Spanish exports, “partially compensating” the increase in the tariff or the effect “replacement effect between countries”, which can be made to the more competitive than other countries.
