12.04.2025 ⇢ Day of Trump's Tariff Retreat on Electronics
⌨Trump's sudden exemption of phones, computers and semiconductor chips from his reciprocal tariffs dominated Spanish media coverage. This policy reversal, characterized by some outlets as a "capitulation" comparable to Liz Truss's economic failure, modified his previous broader approach that had severely impacted Spanish companies like Repsol and banks.
Spanish diplomatic positioning continued evolving with Prime Minister Sánchez portrayed as building EU-China bridges while the opposition criticized this stance. Spain proposed an EU common defense fund to immediately increase military spending, reflecting regional security concerns.
Former Valencia regional minister Pradas tearfully testified before a judge investigating the dana flood disaster, claiming lack of emergency management knowledge while protesters shouted "Mazón, murderer." The day also saw reporting on primary healthcare abandonment and FC Barcelona player Balde's injury during a match against Leganés.
