Spain Prepares Response to U.S. Tariffs

Published: 2025-04-03

Spain is bracing for the economic impact of new U.

S. tariffs announced by President Donald Trump, which include a 20% levy on EU imports.

In response, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is set to unveil a multi-million euro aid package to support affected industries, such as agriculture, automotive, and steel.

The government is also exploring alternative markets, including Mercosur and China, to mitigate the fallout.

Sánchez has emphasized the importance of a united European front and plans to work closely with business leaders and unions to address the crisis.

Meanwhile, Catalonia’s President Salvador Illa has called for a regional meeting to coordinate responses.

With over 27,000 Spanish companies exporting to the U.

S., the stakes are high, and the government aims to shield workers and businesses from the economic strain.
