Pedro Sánchez responde a Donald Trump: «Somos un poder global»

The Spanish Prime Minister participated in an event with entrepreneurs where he urged them to «face Europe» on Wednesday, after Trump reaffirmed in his first speech before Congress.

Trump’s speech reiterated his protectionist economic policies, defense of traditional values, and critical view of the European Union in the midst of the situation in Ukraine. He emphasized his intention to impose tariffs to boost the U.S. economy, despite concerns about the impact on American consumers.

Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish President, responded to Trump’s speech by encouraging Spanish businesses to stand up to Europe. He stressed the importance of protecting Europe’s vulnerable populations, environment, agriculture, and overall economic interests.

While political leaders in Spain remained relatively silent on Trump’s remarks, there were concerns about the potential economic impact on Spain and the European Union. Analysts suggested that the EU could seek new trade alliances to counter Trump’s protectionist policies.

Analysts also warned of a return to American imperialism, where the U.S. aligns itself with Russia in a multipolar world. Despite some concerns, there was recognition of Trump’s efforts to strengthen international alliances, especially with certain leaders in Europe and beyond.

Trump’s speech also highlighted his defense of traditional values and his pragmatic approach to the conflict in Ukraine. With a supportive Congress and a solid base, Trump expressed confidence in his second term agenda, raising questions about how the world will respond to his policies.

In this context, Pedro Sánchez’s support for Ukraine, evaluation of the EU, and reassurance to Spanish entrepreneurs without taking concrete measures to address the economic conflict reflect the current global uncertainty.
