The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has highlighted this Thursday the strength of the relationship that Spain maintains with the United States, emphasizing that it is "more solid than the steel that holds the Brooklyn Bridge."
The head of the Executive has stressed that this bond "is above any circumstance and also above any difference that may exist from the point of view of what the action of one government or another is," as he indicated during his speech at a business forum held at the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce in New York.
Sánchez has insisted that the elements that bring both countries closer are greater than those that distance them. "We are not only trade partners, I believe we are essential partners. And we are not only strategic allies, I think we are journey companions. We are not only friends, I believe we are family," he stated, underscoring the strategic nature of this alliance.
The president has emphasized that the Spanish economy cannot be understood apart from the United States, which he has defined as "the largest investor and the main destination for our exports outside the European Union." Likewise, he has argued that it cannot be explained without Latin America and the Caribbean, which find in Spain their access route to the large European market, and vice versa. "Our vocation is European, Ibero-American, it is transatlantic. We do not choose between those spaces," he pointed out.
In reference to the international context, which he has described as a scenario turned "too many times into a 'Risk' board," Sánchez has defended that open economies require stable rules, reliable partners, and sustained cooperation over time. Therefore, he has called for "more dialogue, more collaboration, and evidently more multilateralism," insisting that only in this way can a more predictable economic and political environment be guaranteed.
