La confusa intromisión estadounidense hace rechinar los engranajes de la industria

Intentar reestructurar la economía estadounidense en torno a la industria ya es bastante difícil sin una política industrial caótica. La cancelación de subsidios, la fragmentación de contratos y la imprevisibilidad de los aranceles deberían compensarse en parte con exenciones fiscales y regulatorias. Sin embargo, en general, el enfoque altamente personalista y proteccionista del presidente Donald Trump hacia la inversión y el comercio se convierte en una propuesta perdedora.

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Trying to reshape the U.S. economy around manufacturing is hard enough without helter-skelter industrial policy. Cancelled subsidies, shredded contracts and unpredictable tariffs should be partly countervailed by tax and regulation breaks.

米国と中国の貿易協議はどうやら決裂はしなかったが、なお険しい道のりを歩み続けている。写真は、協議が行われたロンドンのランカスター・ハウスの米中国旗。６月１０日、ロンドンで撮影（２０２５年ロイター/ Toby Melville）［ワシントン１１日ロイター BREAKINGVIEWS］ - 米国と中国の貿易協議はどうやら決裂はしなかったが、なお険しい道のりを歩み続けている。両国が１０日に英ロンドンで合意した内容は、１カ月前にスイスのジュネーブで交わした報復関税の連鎖に関する「休戦」の約束のほぼ焼き直しに過ぎない。この間、双方は相手の急所を発見した。米国にとって痛いのは、中国がレアアース（希土類）の供給を完全にコントロールしていること。逆に中国は、米国のハイテク製品輸出規制と中国人留学生受け入れ問題が重大だ。そして両国は、許容できないほど対立を激化させないよう自制するかもしれないが、危機の火種は消えていない。トランプ政権が中国製品に課している５５％の関税引き下げに至る最終的な協議の「出口」は、はっきりしまいままだ。...

¿Quiere Donald Trump que las empresas extranjeras fabriquen en EE UU o no? Sus contradictorias medidas hacen difícil saberlo. Al presidente nada le gusta más que hacer anuncios espectaculares sobre grandes inversiones de firmas foráneas. Una propuesta republicana que se está tramitando en el Congreso amenaza con recortar algunos de esos cheques y disuadir la llegada de otros nuevos.

REUTERS/Larry DowningWASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters Breakingviews) - President Trump hinted anew about reprivatizing the US mortgage buyers while suggesting an implicit federal backstop would be explicit.
