Spanish attempts to change Washington’s position on customs duties

Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuwarbo is heading to Washington on Tuesday for talks with US officials, he announced on Monday, at a time when the European Union is seeking to reach an agreement with the United States on.
Kwibro’s visit comes after the visit of European Commercial Commissioner Marus Sivkovic on Monday to the American capital, where he will hold talks on behalf of the continental bloc in an effort to avoid a comprehensive avoidance after the high customs duties imposed by US President Donald Trump.

America’s customs duties on Europe

Cuwarbo said that he will meet with US Treasury Secretary Scott Pesint on Tuesday, as well as World Bank President Ajay Bangaga and several American businessmen to enhance bilateral relations.
He added that his visit is commensurate with the visit of Sivkovic, which is full and completely supported by the 27 members of the European Union.
Quirbo expressed hope that we will all be able to negotiate a balanced agreement between the two parties, because this will benefit everyone.

Customs war

Trump said he would impose 20%customs duties on goods from the European Union, while the latter announced that he would take counter -action if negotiations with Washington fail.
Last week, the US President announced the suspension of the 90 -day customs duties application, and the current fees imposed on many countries of the world, amounting to 10%.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised a 14.1 billion euro aid package to help local sectors such as olive oil and wine to withstand the trade war.
