We have achieved the fourth hesitation, but it is not enough. They must be expanded. “
Trump’s threats to Spanish
Benito also expressed concern about the potential impact of the protectionist policies of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, about the arrival of North American students to society. “It is very required students, but the price does not seem,” said Benito, who emphasized that the United States is the second broadcast country of these schools. “It’s good and expensive programs, which seek to excellence and receive good service at all levels.”
