Trump's Tariffs Shake Spanish Agriculture

Published: 2025-04-04

The Spanish agricultural sector is reeling from the impact of new 20% tariffs imposed by the U.

S. under Donald Trump.

Key exports like olive oil and wine face potential losses of up to €1 billion annually, threatening the stability of these industries.

The U.

S. is a critical market, accounting for a significant share of Spain's agro-food exports, with no viable alternative markets in sight.

Industry leaders warn of price hikes or market oversupply, both of which could harm producers and consumers.

Calls for urgent diplomatic action have intensified, as experts label the tariffs "unjustified" and "damaging" to global trade.

The situation underscores the fragility of international trade relations and the need for coordinated responses from the EU and Spain.
