Un nuevo tablero comercial

“Con estos gestos, ambas potencias [Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea] han abierto una nueva etapa. Todavía es pronto para cuantificar el impacto económico de la suspensión de aranceles, pero vamos por el buen camino”, comentan Patricia Garcia-Duran, profesora en la UB e investigadora asociada del CIDOB, y Marc Ibáñez, asistente de investigación de CIDOB. Sin embargo, los especialistas consideran que tampoco hay que tener grandes esperanzas. “Biden mantendrá la guerra comercial con la UE por intereses políticos internos. No quiere dar una imagen blanda frente a sus electores. De hecho, igual que Trump, hizo campaña con el eslogan ‘buy american’”, añade Ibáñez.
