Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will ask President Joe Biden to scrap Trump-era duties on his country’s olives that have strained trade ties between the United States (US) and European Union (EU). | ManilaBulletin
In his first official visit to the White House since he took office in 2018, Sanchez will appeal to Biden to remove the tariffs and put an end to a dispute that has dragged on for years, according to two people familiar with his plans.
Spokespeople for Sanchez’s office and for the White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Spanish olive exports to the US plunged after the Trump administration in 2018 imposed import taxes on products it deemed to be subsidized with trade-distorting aid from the EU. Earlier this year, the US reduced the tariff from 35 percent to 31 percent in an attempt to comply with the panel’s ruling.
