US their trade policy is just another tool of imperialist coercion and control.

That said, I wonder if that means that Spain will lose access to all the US-based Big Tech services and tools? Because it would seem to me as if that was the case.

And if that's the case… tech sovereignty becomes even more clear of a choice for EU. 🍿

@rysiek I'm not a lawyer, much less international trade law... but I have the strong suspicion that mighty Dear Leader has missed the fact that he probably can't single out Spain when there's established free trade agreements with the European Union 🤡

"Nuestro país cuenta con los recursos necesarios para contener posibles impactos, ayudar a los sectores que pudieran verse afectados, y diversificar cadenas de suministro", dicen en Moncloa
