- There is a situation of instability in your country at the commercial and economic level right now, right?
- Yes. We have a volatile situation, especially because of US policy.
- The tariffs that are being imposed make everything difficult, right?
- Yes, it seems a policy that is not very well thought out and what is happening to the president in the morning.
The complicated thing is the uncertainty that there is in this respect.
It is a challenge for traditional business partners, such as Canada, Mexico, the European Union.
- How should the policy be?
- Spain is the bridge for Europe and I believe that these ties should be strengthened also with other economies.
With domestic politics in the United States, the important thing is to have commercial networks that are more robust to what happens internally in the United States.
We have to look a little more towards Europe, the Pacific basin and towards Asia.
- And what should be done in the case of Latin America?
- Spain has turned towards Europe and ignored a little historical and linguistic and cultural links with Latin America.
Some of the instability that is observed in many Latin American countries could be said to be caused by our proximity to the United States.
The case of the European Union is very different where everything is different and in principle they will be equal partners of this project.
Spain has an important role in establishing these links, I would like to see more of those close contacts.
It would be a positive influence for Latin America.
