Sanchez Calls for Dialogue Over U.S. Tariff Dispute

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has urged the United States to reconsider its decision to impose a 25% tariff on European cars. Sanchez called for dialogue with the European Commission to resolve the dispute, while the EU plans a 'robust, calibrated' response.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called on the United States to rethink its plan to impose a 25% import tariff on cars from Europe. Sanchez's appeal was made during a speech in Madrid, where he stressed the importance of dialogue between the U.S. and the European Commission.

President Donald Trump announced the new tariffs on Wednesday, prompting concerns and preparations for a measured response from the European Union. The European Commission has stated that it is ready to counter the U.S. move with a 'robust, calibrated' response policy.

Sanchez emphasized the need to halt what he termed as 'nonsense,' urging the U.S. administration to discuss resolutions with the EC. The situation reflects heightened tensions in transatlantic trade relations.
