Since the beginning of the century, and camouflaged in the most diverse ways, aid to Boeing and Airbus has been a constant in the United States and Europe.

The temporary suspension of the tariffs that the United States and the European Union imposed on certain exports as a result of their dispute over the financial aid received by Boeing and Airbus opens a phase of diplomatic relaxation between Washington and Brussels and of hope for a return to multilateralism.

Among other products, Spanish olive oil and wine were affected by a trade war that the new American administration and Brussels replaced with a four-month truce. Since the beginning of the century, and disguised in the most diverse ways, financial aid to Boeing and Airbus has been a constant in the United States and Europe.

They were not new when Donald Trump used them as an excuse to tighten the rope with his European partners, nor should they be [used] at a time when the world sees borders and customs, reinforced by the pandemic, as obstacles to growth.



Estados Unidos y la UE se necesitan, sin aranceles

Desde principios de siglo, y camufladas de las más diversas formas, las ayudas a Boeing y Airbus han sido una constante en Estados Unidos y Europa

La suspensión temporal de los aranceles con que Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea gravaron las exportaciones de determinados productos, consecuencia de su disputa sobre las ayudas recibidas por Boeing y Airbus, abre un fase de distensión diplomática entre Washington y Bruselas y de esperanza para una vuelta al multilateralismo.

Entre otros productos, el aceite de oliva y el vino españoles resultaron perjudicados por una guerra comercial que la nueva Administración norteamericana y Bruselas sustituyen por una tregua de cuatro meses. Desde principios de siglo, y camufladas de las más diversas formas, las ayudas a Boeing y Airbus han sido una constante en Estados Unidos y Europa.

No eran nuevas cuando Donald Trump las utilizó como excusa para tensar la cuerda con sus socios europeos, ni deberían serlo en un momento en que el mundo vuelve a ver las fronteras y las aduanas, reforzadas por la pandemia, como obstáculos para el crecimiento.
