Spain’s Economy Minister, Carlos Cuerpo, is pushing the EU to expand financial aid for industries hit by U.S. tariffs. Spain recently unveiled a €14.1 billion support package and aims to secure broader EU countermeasures as trade tensions escalate between the U.S. and Europe.
Spain's Economy Minister, Carlos Cuerpo, has called on the European Union to expand financial aid for industries affected by U.S. tariffs. This appeal came as the EU finance ministers convened on Monday to discuss countermeasures against the U.S.'s tariff policies.
Spain, which has been vocal in its efforts to shield businesses from the financial strain caused by U.S. trade measures, recently unveiled a 14.1 billion euro ($15.54 billion) aid package. This financial support, comprising loans and direct aid, is aimed at helping Spanish industries cope with the fallout from U.S. tariffs, including the 25% import duties on steel, aluminium, and cars.
The EU is also expected to approve countermeasures against U.S. imports, targeting up to $28 billion in goods. With the U.S. set to impose reciprocal tariffs on a broad range of European products, the EU is working to present a united front. The upcoming discussions will focus on deciding which goods will be subject to retaliatory tariffs in response to U.S. actions.
The situation reflects the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe, with countries like Spain advocating for robust support to mitigate the economic impact.
