SPAIN-US-TRADE-TARIFF-DIPLOMACY

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrives to deliver a public statement at La Moncloa Palace in Madrid on April 3, 2025. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said today that the sweeping new tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump were a "unilateral attack" by Washington against Europe. This measure marks a return to "19th century protectionism, which in my opinion, is not an intelligent way to meet the challenges of the 21st century," the Socialist leader added as he announced a package of measures worth 14.1 billion euros ($15 billion) to support Spanish sectors hurt by the tariffs.
