Spain looked at Chinese cars as a salvation table. In the commercial war, the risk of dying drowning runs

“Spain is in favor of more balanced relations between the EU and China,” with these words Pedro Sánchez, president of the Government, has defended his approach to China before the commercial war that is being freed and during the same. And the automobile sector has a lot to do. “Essential partner”. With those words Pedro Sánchez has defined the relationship that China should have with the European Union. The words have pronounced them during their meeting with Xi Jinping, president of the country. The Spanish is in a round of visits by Asia in which he is stopping in China and Vietnam. Both countries have been severely punished by the United States. China still maintains 125% tariff Despite the 90 -day truce that Donald Trump has granted. Vietnam had been punished with some 46% tariffs. The importance of words. This “essential partner” is not accidental and shows Spain’s approach to China in full tension for the commercial war that are pounding the United States and the Asian country. In fact, the words of the words of the European Union is unmarked as “partner, competitor and systemic rival”, collected by The country. Sanchez needs to play with tact with his statements. Only a few days ago, Scott Besent, secretary of the United States Treasury, said that “I am not sure if it was the prime minister or the Minister of Economy of Spain, who made some comments this morning: ‘Maybe we should align more with China.’ That would be to cut off the neck”, in words collected by The confidential. Xi Jinping, meanwhile, thanked Sánchez for the “firm will” to maintain good relations between the two countries, emphasizing that it is the third time that the president of the Spanish Government visits the Asian country, they point out in The world. The equilibrium game. Spain has encountered the most uncomfortable view at the right time. With the agenda already scheduled, it was seen if the president of the Government would be willing to go to China in the middle of the commercial tension with the United States. The single presence is seen as a Spanish approach to the Chinese side and, of course, It is unmarked from European politics that bets to get wet as little as possible. However, Spain has a good number of Chinese investments in our country. The commercial balance between the two countries It is still very unbalanced In favor of China (we import goods worth 45,174 million euros and export there products worth 7,467 million euros) but China has the key in key sectors. Putting the carpet. Without a doubt, one of the sectors in which Spain wants to influence is the car. China is disembarking in Europe. His commercial war with the United States will force him to disembark in greater force in Europe and Spain is a perfect gateway. With the fees to the electric car, the plug -in hybrids and the Chinese low ranges vehicles have A huge opportunity in countries like Spanish where “electricity” is not so developed. All their companies need to open markets outside China to seek profitability. If the perspectives are maintained, byd will be in 2025 One of the five greatest manufacturers of the world. Given this situation, Spain is clear that it wants to be a very important part of Chinese landing in Europe. The automobile sector is essential for Spain. Not only in its factories, you have to add ports that receive cars, distributors and a Powerful auxiliary and component industry. It is better for us. The biggest problem facing Spain is that it is best to open to China if you want to open your business routes in the automobile sector. When the tariffs of Chinese electric car were voted for the first time, Spain was favorable. A visit to China and a threat of attacking the Spanish pig directly (whose exports to China are key) He changed the Executive idea. But, in addition, other threats float in the air. In Europe, France or Italy remained firm in their favorable vote to tariffs on Chinese electric cars. Then, China ordered to stop investments In those countries and since then we have not had news of new approaches. At the moment, Spain has Chinese investments in different ports To receive and start distributing cars that arrive from Asia, the investment of Chery in Barcelonathe agreement between Catl and Stellantis For a battery plant in Aragon or the Extremadura projects to produce batteries for electric cars. But there are certain problems. In a first reading, it seems clear that if Spain has the opportunity to continue expanding its Chinese investments in the automobile sector to be key in the European car of the future and if you have a threat to its head of withdrawing investments or torpedoing trade between the two countries, the approach to China seems completely logical. The problem is to pull the rope tense, irremediably, on the other. The United States has already warned Spain that its position is not correct and some sectors are (obviously) worried. The direct impact In the automobile industry it is not too high but, for example, shipments to the United States of olive oil They have shot under the threat of tariffs. What can we expect? Given this context, Spain will have to play its cards to several bands. Approach enough to Beijing but without burning. It will be necessary to see if the United States maintains its commitment to tax trade with the European Union with a flat rate or if it extends tariffs by sectors, which can be an indirect attack on a specific country. A good example is the 25% tariff to the car. The United States government has repeatedly decided to pause its tariffs to Mexico or Canada but keeping them in the car market is a clear attack on these countries. Also to Germany, in Europe, which is The country that exports more vehicles to the United States. We will have … Read more

The dollar has been the world economy for 80 years. The US tariffs are starting to destroy it

In the two long months he has in the Oval Office, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he did not joke when he said that his favorite word is “tariff.” The Commercial War in which it has been engaged, with ads and against ads, attacks and backgrounds that now focus the focus In China, it is however affecting what could well be the second header word for the Republican leader: the dollar, which faces its own historical chapter, in full depreciation against other assets such as The euro or the Swiss Franco. In the background, there are voices that already speak of a trusted crisis In the American currency, a weakening of its global position as a safe shelter or even They wonder If we go at the end of the golden era of the green ticket. Dollar slopes. In full tariff war and between recession drums In the US and loss of investor confidence, the US dollar does not go through its best moment. Although The partial truce 90 days decreed on Wednesday by Trump has paid the falls in the stock market, the trend is different if we talk about public debt and especially dollars. Green tickets They have deflated in front of currencies such as the euro or the Swiss Franco. And quite clear, besides. Click on the image to go to Tweet. What do the figures say? After the dollar suffered yesterday its worse day In about a decade, the Euro is already 1.14 dollars. You have to go back several years ago to find it in such low levels in front of the community currency. As for the Swiss currency, another key reference, Reuters remembers That the green ticket has fallen 1.2%, to 0.814 francs, for the first time since the beginning of 2015. All this with him and reaching his Maximum of several months and with gold moving in Historical maximums While investors are looking for safe shelters, precisely what (until not so ago) offered green tickets. “There has been a marked tendency to sell US dollars flowing through the general markets and towards classical shelter assets, with the dollar losing that position,” Confirms Reuters recently Chris Weston, from Pepperstone. Why is it important? Because the dollar is more than the currency with which the Americans make their purchases. Is behind the vast majority of transactions, acts world reference and has allowed the US to be financed at low types. “Half the world is stunned looking and the other horror about what will happen to the dollar as a universally accepted currency and vault key of the global financial system,” Explain to The country Juan Ignacio Crespo. “It is very unusual in the US”. The dollar situation has caught the attention of other experts, such as Nick Timiraos, economic correspondent for The Wall Street Journal And who yesterday shared In X some reflections on the drift of the yields of the treasure bonds at 30 years and the weakening of the dollar. “Rises in yields and low in currencies are common in emerging markets. We saw it in the United Kingdom during the debacle of Truss. But it is very unusual in the US. There are only four other episodes in the last 30 years in which the dollar depreciated more than 1.5% with an increase in return to more than 10 basic points, ” Timiraos collects citing the Evercore ISI firm. Its conclusion: the data suggests the end of ‘exceptionalism’ of American growth and a loss of attractiveness of dollars. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Crisis of trust in the dollar? That is the idea that appears for some time among some analysts, such as Francesco Pesole, of ING, which after the fall of the dollar to a minimum of three years in front of the euro, It was pronounced with roundness in Financial Times: “The question of a possible crisis of trust in the dollar has definitely been resolved: we are experiencing it with all its force.” It is not the first to point in that direction. Monday Reuters warned that there were investors and analysts concerned with the perspective that Trump’s protectionist policies, changes in the current global economic order in the last decades and the growing debt The US ended up undermining the attractiveness of the dollar, with even risk of a crisis of trust in the green ticket. End of the ‘golden age’ of the green ticket? That is the question he launched to Benjamin Dubois, head of Edmond’s coverage management of Rothschild, in An analysis collected by The economist. It slides that the fall of the currency “could be the beginning of a deeper underlying trend.” “Trump’s second mandate could make the dollar lose the dominant status he has enjoyed during the last decade,” Point out The expert before citing factors such as the depreciation of Trump’s currency or commercial war. The answer does not seem clear. For Per Jansson, vice governor of the Central Bank of Sweden, It is not predictable However, the US reaches the point that the status of the dollar changes. And he warns: “It would be a great change for the world economy … and basically create chaos.” The truth is that Trump has spoken against attempts to weaken the currency, which still has in his favor the support of the strong economy of the United States, the markets and the lack of a short -term alternative. Reindustrialization. One of The wishes of Trump, which already connects with his first presidential mandate, is to enhance The manufacturing industry of the US. And in that effort the currency and its strength also play a key role. After remembering the restructuring of the global financial system raised by S. Miran, Donald Trump advisor, Dubois remembers: “It is based on the conviction that the dollar must be depreciated to allow US reindustrialization.” The Republican himself has pointed out that a weaker dollar would also benefit exports.

You will start adjusting your template, according to Business Insider

Although the figures registered in 2022, 2023 or 2024, years in which each round of layoffs are not being reached segated thousands of jobs. According to The portal Layoff.fyi,The great technology have fired 23,505 employees in what we have been. The most recurring reason: the Restructuring of the departments To gain agility. According to Published information by Business InsiderMicrosoft would be considering a New round of layoffs They aim to reduce the number of intermediate and management positions, as well as Posts “No coding“. That is, positions not directly involved with software development. Programmers are not the objective Anonymous sources close to Microsoft assured the American media that the technology prepares Another round of layoffs that could be executed next May, but do not provide a specific figure of the number of employees that will be affected by the measure. The spokesmen of the company consulted by the medium have declined to comment. According to what is published, the adjustments that are coming will be focused on the intermediate controls and team managers, as well as in DEVELOPED DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS Software direct. This includes commercial, human resources and managers departments. Microsoft already carried out layoffs at the beginning of the year. But unlike that, the new round would not have the objective Like Google and Amazon. Less bureaucracy and more agile teams Charlie Bell, co -founder of Amazon Web Service and current Chief of Security of Microsoft, could have brought from Amazon this ratios system. Its objective is to redirect the maximum of Personnel resources to the development area To step on the accelerator in matters such as AI or the creation of new software solutions to put back to Microsoft in the AI ​​race. Applying this strategy, Microsoft would be looking for an infrastructure with development equipment with less bureaucratic obstacles in the command chain and more dynamic reducing the number of department managers. Hence, the main objective is not to reduce the template in general, but in specific positions. According to sources of Business Insiderthe department managed by Charlie Bell has a ratio of 5.5 programmers for each manager, when the objective is to achieve a proportion of 10 to 1. This strategy is slightly different from that adopted by technological ones as a goal, which in its last round of layoffs hardened the performance scales, which served as an excuse for dismiss 5% of your workforceincluding in that list many software engineers that had to date had good grades. However, although programmers are not the objective priority in this personnel cut, Microsoft could take the opportunity to say goodbye to some employees (including programmers) that have a “impact 80” or lower performance rating for two consecutive years. The company establishes a 200 scale, in which 100 would be an average yield. Therefore, a programmer with a qualification of 80 would be yielding below the measure and could be one of the names that go in The next list of layoffs, Although your profile is development.

an internal battle within Apple Intelligence for the control of everything

The unfulfilled promises of Apple Intelligence have left Apple something exposed. The case suggests a company somewhat divided by opposite visions and structural problems that culminated in its greatest public stumbling in years. The background. The plan to renew Siri completely, presented at the WWDC 2024It turned out to be a fictitious demo that not even the engineers of the Siri team had seen work. According to a long and detailed report of The Informationthe only real element of the demo was the new interface that appears when invoking Siri. Advanced functions such as contextual postal analysis or integration with applications were practically non -existent. This break with Apple’s tradition of showing only functional technology has left him in an awkward position: have to delay some of the promised functions Until 2026. Between bambalins. The investigation of The Information Talk about an internal war between the AI ​​/ML team (artificial intelligence / Machine Learning, ‘automatic learning’) led by John Giannandrearesponsible for Siri since 2018, and the software group of Craig Federight Aka ‘Pelazo’. This conflict is the result of gathering two opposite philosophies: Giannandrea: Cauto approach, oriented to incremental improvements, focused on privacy. Federight: more agile, pragmatic and results -oriented approach. Apple engineers sarcastically nicknamed the AI/ml group as “Aimless” (without a goal), referring to generalized frustration with their leadership and lack of ambition. The crossroads. Siri’s course has been confusing from the beginning, marked by inconsistent decisions. Initially it was proposed to develop two language models for this new version: “Mini Mouse” to work at home. “Mighty Mouse” to execute in the cloud and oriented to the most complex tasks. Then, the team pivoted towards a single cloud model, before making other technical changes that engineers did not fit well. Script turn. In March 2025, Apple changed the chairs, putting Craig Federight and Mike Rockwell (architect of the Vision Pro) at the head of the Siri project. The first important change was to eliminate the restriction of using only internal language models. Now Federight has instructed to “do whatever it takes to build the best functions of AI”, even if that means using third -party models. This decision contrasts with the previous policy to only use external models as a comparative reference, despite the fact that internal models “did not give up as well as OpenAi technology.” In perspective. Apple’s stumbling block is the reflection of a major problem: its obsession with privacy and total control has collided with the reality of the development of modern. Rivals like Amazon (with Alexa+), Microsoft (COPILOT) and Samsung have been directly associated with Openai or Anthropic, Apple has tried to build everything internally. The results are not being spectacular. The new direction implies that Apple has understood that it needs to find a balance between its privacy principles and the need to advance rapidly in AI. It is that or, irremediably, losing relevance. And now what. Within Apple there is optimism that Federight and Rockwell, known for delivering complex projects on time, can straighten the course. The next one WWDC 2025 In June it will be key to see if Apple can recover the confidence of developers and users after one of the most delicate episodes in the company’s recent history.

The tariff war will shoot the price of a component that nobody speaks: the SSD units

The tariff war that has triggered the entire planet The US government led by Donald Trump is wreaking havoc in the markets. Consumers are already noticing Price increase Of many products, and presumably in the short term we will perceive it in many more. There is no doubt that the world is entering In an unexplored terrain. If we stick to technology, much is being talked about the impact of tariffs on chips for applications of artificial intelligence (AI), CPU and other components, but storage solutions have gone unnoticed. Until now. And it is that US tariff policy will cause with high probability a very important increase in the price of mechanical hard discs and solid state storage units. Mechanical hard drives can be worse stopped than SSD units Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital are the main manufacturers of mechanical hard drives. The supply chains of these three companies are very complex because the components they use to assemble their units come from a very wide range of countries. And, to anyone’s surprise, many of these nations are among those subject to The highest US tariffs. In principle the most disadvantaged company at the current situation is Seagate. As we have told you, the US administration has increased tariffs for products from China up to 145%and Seagate produces a good part of his porpholio in the country led by Xi Jinping. In current circumstances the best option for these companies is Move your production to the USeither one of the countries that are receiving a slightly friendlier treatment from the Government of Donald Trump. The manufacturers of solid state units have an advantage that the mechanical hard drives companies do not count However, for mechanical hard drives manufacturers it is not easy to move from one country to another. And it is not because these devices are assembled in clean rooms similar to Those used to manufacture semiconductors with the purpose of ensuring that dust particles do not spoil them. The panorama faced by the producers of solid state storage units is not very different. Samsung, Micron or Kioxia supply chains, among other companies that manufacture NAND 3D memory chips or SSD units, are as complex as those of companies that produce mechanical hard drives. However, manufacturers of solid state units They have an advantage With which the mechanical hard drives companies do not count: the assembly of the SSD does not have to be carried out in a clean room. In practice it is relatively simple to transfer the production of SSD from China or Vietnam to Mexico, Canada or the US. Whatever the price of storage units, whether they are going to increase perceptibly over the next weeks. Only a return to the prior market to tariffs could avoid it, and right now this possibility is remote.

200 companies will adopt it definitively

The current working day was implemented more than 100 years ago. However, neither the current works are the same as a century ago, nor are the tools. Therefore, governments are looking for new workday models that adapt better to The current needs of companies and employees. While large companies in the United States insist on the return to the office urging their employees to make longer working hours, in the United Kingdom more and more companies are betting on a different alternative: the four -day work week. The United Kingdom wants to work less days. In 2025, more than 200 British companies have decided to implement the four -day work week. These companies use more than 5,000 people and cover a wide range of sectors, from marketing and technology to consulting, charity and industrial sector. 59 of them are based in London, which reflects the commitment of the City’s companies with the well -being of their templates. The working day model for this project will be 32 hours a week without wage loss or other benefits for employees, in an eight -hour and four working scheme. According to declared to The Guardian Joe Ryle, campaign director 4 Day Week Foundation That audits the change of day in these companies, “the four -day work week offers people the freedom to live happier and more full lives.” As hundreds of British companies and a town hall have already demonstrated, a four -day work week without loss of salary can be beneficial for both workers and employers. “ Four -day working week 2.0. This is the second project of these characteristics that is carried out in the United Kingdom. In 2022, the British government brought together 70 companies to carry out one of the longest pilot tests, since the companies that participated in that call still provide data to the project. Not all the companies participating in the first test of the United Kingdom continued with the day four days after the end of the pilot program. However, the success of calling this second initiative reveals the growing interest of companies to find new Ways to reconcile family life and work of its employees. Improvement supported by data. One of the main advantages of the new four -day work week projects is that they are no longer “blind” as in the first experiments that were done throughout the world. The evidence of the United Kingdom, Germany, ValenciaIceland, Portugaleither South AfricaThey serve as a basis on which to build a more solid strategy for these 200 companies. In the results collected by the different projects, most participating companies registered Productivity increases and a significant reduction in the rotation of the personnel, as well as a greater commitment of the template and improvements in its physical and mental well -being. In addition, thanks to the free time that employees, trade and local leisure win is dynamic, which generates benefits for the entire community, not only for the companies that apply it. Success is not guaranteed. Before reaching these benefits, companies had to undergo an optimization period for change your way of working and even adopt new tools to adapt processes that occupied a good part of the day. In this optimization is the key to the success of this type of initiatives, since it is possible to improve productivity using Less working time. However, not all companies get Adapt your work system to the new day. In each event of the four -day week there have been companies that They have not continued with that model of day and have returned to the five -day day format, although with some kind of improvement in the form ofshorter days. Others, however, They will never return a week of five days. Of working more when working less. The Data point that workers can only remain productive for a certain time during their day, so apply a weekly day of 60 or 80 hours as they are asking Some US technology It is counterproductive and does not improve productivity. The European approach, and especially that of the United Kingdomis walking towards a Flexible workday and shorter through the optimization of productive processes, not to exhaust employees with marathon working days.

Delapza sweeps any prejudice with a Z9GT that is a technological arsenal

Milan Bulle in April. The Inter Milan defends its advantage in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in San Siro. Art and architecture are cited in the city of fashion with the Milano Design Week. It is no accident that in this party of design and visual language byd has chosen the month of April and the city of Milan to present a den of electric cars and plug -in hybrid premium. What is a denza and why Byd bets on her? What can we expect from the company? Byd’s situation before he arrives denies There was a day when things happened calmly, they cooked over low heat. Little by little, little by little. But, without realizing it, we have gotten into a spiral that seems to never stop. Take strength and we turn inside. When we entered the washing machine’s delicate clothing program there was no reversal. Today we are the shoes that hit the drum at the pace of centrifugate. We analyze contexts and situations demanding an immediacy that does not end up connecting well with the processes that irremediably require another rhythm. Information saturation makes us believe that everything It should happen faster of what happens. The arrival of Chinese companies to the European car market is one of them. Except mg, the truth is that most are a small drop of water As far as sales volume is concerned. But, little by little, sales are foreseeable. That fine and almost imperceptible rain becomes a true storm. Or not. It may be subsided and everything is as it is or, in a medium term, it rains with constancy but with a contained force. It is something that will only say time. What is palpable is that Chinese companies are doing everything possible to get a hole. Kia and Hyundai They also entered the European market taking advantage of the cracks of the low range. Today they are Third manufacturer worldwidea power in the United States and cars that begin to Broken the 100,000 euros with your fingers. Chinese brands arrive in another context. We are at a turning point in the automobile industry in Europe and who knows if the commercial war opened by the United States does not open the doors to a paradigm shift. Because the products of all kinds rise in price, citizens have less money in their pocket and Chinese brands strive between low ranges but also get their own hole in a mid -range in which they have cars to offer with less price and a greater equipment than European vehicles. Manufacturers cars that also have more difficulties in reducing their prices and playing with profit margins. It is the process in which Byd is located. The Chinese company It has been in Spain since 2023 And his registrations have not been especially good. But given the lack of immediate results, they have begun to deploy their huge portfolio. Among the electric their cheapest models have begun to take traction. Among the plug -in, their Byd Seal U DM-I It has consolidated in the market given its wide equipment. And to continue tightening, Byd brings denies to Europe. What is denza We should not expect huge denza sales. But it is that the task of this new brand that Byd brings to Europe is another. Its objective is not to sell in large quantities, is to show potential clients of what the company is capable of, to propose how far they are able to arrive. It is a classic strategy in the automobile market. Most automotive groups have (with greater or lesser success) their Premium brands. Aware that they will not make a great volume, they invest in them because they improve their brand image. They project their halo of exclusivity on the most earthly companies. The Volkswagen Group can be one of the most segmented companies to its brands, with Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen fighting by volume but with the latter located slightly above the other generalists. Audi as a premium and Porsche brand as a luxury company. Byd is guaranteed with a denza attract looks. Not only will they “Chinese electric cars” are the same as their offer have a electric or plug -in hybrid of more than 700 hp. And that are major words. “It is a brand that has always had its roots in the European design in particular, and we are sure that European clients will find inspiration on how to combine that influence,” says Stella Li, vice president of Byd. These roots are explained because the company was born as the result of a Collaboration with Mercedes in 2010. After years without finding results, the Germans left and the brand was exclusively for the Chinese company. Today is part of an automotive group with 120,000 engineers and a clear European influence that is felt in its design for which They have hired Wolfgang EggerGerman designer of, among others, the precious Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione. He will be positioned, therefore, as the maximum expression of what the company is capable of offering in Europe. To do this, its models use the E3 Platform, its most advanced multienergy platform which will allow them to fully enter the market for electric cars and plug -in hybrids. Launched byd as a company that points to the electric one that subsequently, He added plug -in hybrid optionsDenza does not have to play with that position and will arrive directly as a bicephal company, with two types of propulsion for the same car. The use of this platform also allows you to take advantage of technical capabilities that are not available in the rest of the Chinese company offer. We will see your system for the first time body movement control of the vehicle or the possibility of having three electric motors in the same car (one striker and two rear), regardless of If it is electric or plug -in hybrid with independent traction and direction capacity. All this will allow … Read more

The US has just signed its first crypto law

In the middle of the Tariff storm and the changing Scenario of the commercial war with China, Donald Trump has had time to repeal one of the most important laws of IRS (Internal Revenue Service) About the Defi world. Thus signs its first American law related to the crypto scope, one that completely repeals the extension of tax report obligations to decentralized finance platforms. IRS legislation. In 2023, at the end of his mandate, Biden established The first National Strategy of the United States Towards the Critpo world. Signed a bill that It harden The fiscal declaration requirements by the Defi platforms. All under the position of “dealing with the risks and taking advantage of the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” These requirements were designed to regulate statements to entities that “regularly make sales of digital assets.” Among them, wallet suppliers and other non -custodian platforms. Treat them as banks. This was wanted to establish that decentralized financial platforms had the same fiscal declaration requirements as centralized banks or traditional stock market runners. The new rule required that finance platforms report both transactions and user information to the IRS, the federal instance of the United States government in charge of tax collection and compliance with tax laws. Completely repealed. Four years later, Trump signs a resolution that eliminates the norm of the IRS aimed at Defi platforms, revoking the tax regulations imposed by the previous administration. It is officially the first effort in favor of the crypto world materialized by the new government. “The IRS Defi Broker Rule unnecessarily hindered American innovation, violated the privacy of Americans and was destined to overwhelm the IRS, which does not have the infrastructure to handle during the tax season, with an excess of new presentations. By repealing this rule, President Trump and Congress have given the IRS the opportunity to focus on the duties and obligations he already has with US taxpayers instead of creating a new series of bureaucratic obstacles, ”. Mike Carey, member of the Republican Party.” The Trump administration considers the newly repealed norm as a “bureaucratic obstacle.” A little more anonymous, but not quite. The repeal of the IRS rule by Trump does not eliminate the obligation to declare cryptocurrency profits. Eliminates the obligation by the platforms to collect and report transactions directly to the IRS. The Defi Broker rule required that asset wallet suppliers to submit reports to the IRS about operations. Something that will no longer have to do. The entry into force of the new reform has been accompanied by a slight rise from Bitcoin and other crypto, in a positive trend during these last hours. The next step. Uploaded the first step, the Trump administration He now heads towards Stablecoins. During the crypto held at the White House on March 6, the Treasury Secretary, Scot Besent, clarified that turning the dollar into the dominant currency went on to rely on Stablecoins. The Stablecoins They usually have a value of 1: 1, that is, a cryptocurrency equals a dollar. This parity allows them to maintain stable value, avoiding the volatility of other crypts. The Trump administration wants to foster its use to reinforce the dollar … and for pure personal interest of the president. Trump’s crypto. World Liberty Financial, cryptocurrency company supported by Trump and his family, announced on March 25 the creation of USD1a stablecoin linked to the US dollar. It is a project in which an obsession of the President materializes again: to enter personally in the crypto market. Prior to his appointment he launched $ Trumpa memecoin whose tokens distribution was at 10% public provision and 89% in the hands of companies linked to the president.

The European Union has an ace in the sleeve to negotiate tariffs with the United States: digital services

The United States is the great world importer. Its economy is the paradigm of consumerism, and China – the great world factory – has taken advantage of it. Precisely Trump’s tariffs –now in pause in almost everyone– They intend to correct that deficit, but not only with China, but with everyone. And the European Union, one of the affectedhas its particular As in the sleeve: its deficit in services. The EU is what the US to the goods. The European Union is a great services importer. In the old continent we are eager consumers of digital services that come from the US and ranging from the subscription to Netflix to the use of platforms such as Azure or AWS. The situation in services is similar to the one Trump wants to correct, but in that USA panorama it is “our China” and the EU would be the US. Europe has digital services deficit. And von der Leyen knows. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, has already made it clear that the shots can go in the negotiations for tariffs. As they point out in Financial Timesthe president indicated that the EU will seek a “completely balanced” agreement with Washington during the 90 -day truce to the application of the reciprocal tariffs announced by Trump a few days ago. Trump makes the accounts that agree. The European Parliament already published a study Preliminary of what would happen if the US imposed extra tariffs on EU products, and detailed what the situation of imports of goods and services was. The US only talks about goods (Goods’) of consumption in its analysis, and does not mention the services for a simple reason: it has a deficit of goods (it loses) but surplus of services (it is winning). The EU is losing in services, and if the US applies tariff But it is that the US exports services to every cloth. As they also point out In The Wall Street JournalTrump’s mathematics ignore digital services exports. The former leading role of the United States as a manufacturer, with Ford or General Motors as great examples, has changed: now there the protagonists are the services, but the tariffs raised by the US government take them out of the equation, and that clearly affects the EU. In danger. According to the European Parliament data, in 2023 the EU had a surplus of goods and USA had a service surplus. In the Global EU had a surplus of 48,000 million euros, but in the study they indicate that it is a modest figure that “only represents 3% of the total commercial flow, 1.6 trillion euros.” Tariffs to services. If these negotiations fail, explained von der Leyen, the EU will expand the global trade war on services. The idea would be to include an income tax for digital advertising, something that already outlined with the DSA. The measure could have a remarkable impact on the income of companies that depend on the advertising model such as Meta, Google and Facebook. Evening threats. “We are developing retaliation measures,” said Von der Leyen, noting that “there is a wide Ramgo of countermeasures … in the event that negotiations are not satisfactory.” The advertising tax would be applied in Europe and would be different from taxes to digital sales, which have independent tax burdens according to each Member State.
