Daniel Lacalle: The Tsunami of Trump's commercial agreements, the weakness of China and fiscal plundering
In this Money & Markets program, Daniel Lacalle, has assured that an authentic “Tsunami of Commercial Agreements” is close to the Trump Administration, dismantling the idea that there was no intention to negotiate. Lacalle underlines three key factors: the sharp fall in the demand for containers from China, which shows that power is in the hands of the consumer; The fear of the European Union to an avalanche of cheap Chinese products, which forces it to negotiate; And the revelation that the world has not lived in real free trade, but in a protectionist environment. He assures that we will see at least 15 agreements closed in the next two months, including with the EU, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, South Korea and Mexico. For Lacalle, the Trump administration seeks to improve global trade conditions and is taking the world towards greater economic certainty.
Manuel Llamas, author of the book “Socialism: the ruin of Spain”, warns that socialism not only impoverishes, but cheats on making you believe otherwise. According to flames, this model has failed where it has been applied, and Spain is no exception. He denounces that under the Government of Pedro Sánchez, more than 90 net fiscal increases have been approved since 2018, which has generated a record fiscal pressure and an authentic “confiscation” to citizens. He points out that the State remains half of the real salary of the Spaniards, without offering quality public services, which considers a “fiscal plunder.” In addition, it criticizes the socialist propaganda that the system presents as fair, when in reality, he says, it is based on an economic lie. Llamas compares the situation with the decline of countries such as Venezuela and Argentina, and stresses that many citizens are not yet aware of the real cost paid in taxes and the progressive impoverishment of the country.
