Sánchez: "La economía española no se entiende sin EEUU, el vínculo es más sólido que el acero que sostiene el puente de Brooklyn"

Just a day after bidding farewell to Donald Trump without attending his reception for world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez sought to mend the image of the commercial relations between the two countries. He stated that Spain's economy cannot be understood without the United States, emphasizing that the bond between the two nations is stronger than the steel that holds the Brooklyn Bridge.

During his participation in the global economic forum organized by the Spain-United States Chamber of Commerce in New York's Japan Society, Sánchez highlighted that Spain and the U.S. are more than just commercial partners and strategic allies; they are essential partners and companions on a shared journey. He affirmed that Spain's vocation is both European, Ibero-American, and trans-Atlantic.

In this context, Sánchez took advantage of his visit to the United States to present Spain's bet on clean energy as a gateway to international investments in artificial intelligence. He highlighted Spain's connectivity, talent, and competitive renewable energies as assets for international investments in AI. Sánchez also stressed the public commitment to significant investments, such as the construction of gigafactories, inviting all investors, especially data centers, with open arms.

He clarified that investments in data centers must ensure quality employment, technological sovereignty, employment, use of local suppliers, and that regulation of new technologies requires collective efforts rather than a single actor. He emphasized that democracies must open a broad debate on artificial intelligence at the national and global levels in a world often becoming a chessboard of risks.
