Los aranceles de Donald Trump: Argentina pagará un 10 por ciento y el canciller busca negociar un acuerdo
Tras los anuncios de Donald Trump sobre tarifas globales, que impondrá al menos un 10% a los productos que Argentina exporte a Estados Unidos, el canciller Gerardo Werthein busca en Washington negociar con el representante comercial estadounidense un acuerdo arancelario para mitigar el shock en el comercio bilateral el nuevo y convulsivo panorama.
Este miércoles Trump anunció la entrada en vigor de los llamados “aranceles recíprocos” de al menos 10% a todos los productos que ingresan a Estados Unidos (a los de China un 34% y a los de la Unión Europea un 20%) y esto afecta a la Argentina, que ya fue impactada por el 25% de aranceles globales al acero y aluminio que impuso EE.UU semanas atrás.
Dentro de todo el duro panorama de tarifas, el país quedó con el arancel más bajo que aplicó Trump y es un dato que traerá cierto alivio al Gobierno.
El Gobierno busca que la “relación estratégica” bilateral y la buena sintonía entre el presidente Trump y Javier Milei logre alguna exención tarifaria que limite el impacto del terremoto arancelario en los productos argentinos. El líder de la Rosada viajará este miércoles por la noche a la residencia de Trump en Palm Beach para recibir un premio pero también para intentar ver al jefe de la Casa Blanca. Busca apoyo para las negociaciones con el FMI, pero también podría pedirle que alivie algunas tarifas para los productos argentinos.
Pero en su discurso, Trump ya advirtió que no será fácil. “Muchos presidentes van a llamar para pedir la baja de aranceles, les digo que bajen aranceles, que no manipulen sus monedas, les dan protección a otros países, muchos quieren hacernos daño económico”.
Werthein se reúne este jueves con Jamieson Greer, el jefe del United States Trade Representative, la agencia gubernamental encargada de los aranceles. Estará acompañado por el embajador Luis María Kreckler, secretario de Secretario de Relaciones Económicas Internacionales interino, Alec Oxenford, el empresario que ya está instalado en la capital estadounidense como embajador, y funcionarios comerciales de la embajada.
Será un encuentro clave en la visita del canciller a Washington, luego de la reunión que mantuvo con el secretario de Estado Marco Rubio el martes, con quien más allá de reforzar la alianza estratégica política también hablaron “de trabajar juntos en la complementación económica”, según dijo Werthein.
Jamieson tendrá sobre la mesa un reciente informe del departamento que dirige, un grueso ejemplar de más de 300 páginas que Trump mostró durante su discurso en la Casa Blanca, y donde se evalúa el esquema tarifario de cada país con el que comercia Estados Unidos y las barreras que enfrentan los productos estadounidenses.
“Ningún presidente de EE.UU. en la historia moderna ha reconocido las amplias y dañinas barreras comerciales internacionales que enfrentan los exportadores estadounidenses más que el presidente Trump», dijo Greer. «Bajo su liderazgo, esta administración está trabajando diligentemente para abordar estas prácticas injustas y no recíprocas, ayudando a restaurar la equidad y poner a las empresas y trabajadores estadounidenses trabajadores en primer lugar en el mercado global», señaló.
Hay un capítulo de Argentina de 4 páginas que describe la compleja maraña tarifaria en la relación bilateral. Y señala al inicio que Estados Unidos y Argentina firmaron un Acuerdo Marco de Comercio e Inversión el 23 de marzo de 2016. “Este Acuerdo es el principal mecanismo para las discusiones sobre temas de comercio e inversión entre los Estados Unidos y la Argentina”, afirman.
El Gobierno ya ha desinflado la idea de un Acuerdo de Libre Comercio con EE.UU., que más allá de las trabas legales que enfrentaría por ser miembro del Mercosur, no encaja en la política proteccionista de Trump. Ahora se busca negociar un acuerdo comercial a largo plazo con ajustes de aranceles, pero sobre que contemple la mayor cantidad de exenciones a productos argentinos que ingresan a EE.UU.
Según señaló AmCham Argentina, la cámara que agrupa a las empresas norteamericanas con presencia en el país, Estados Unidos aplica un promedio de 1,2% en aranceles a productos argentinos, mientras que Argentina impone un 6,4% sobre las importaciones estadounidenses. “Sectores como el agroindustrial, los textiles y los metales presentan grandes diferencias arancelarias», apuntan desde AmCham. El gobierno de Trump buscará equilibrar esa balanza.
Argentina grava la importación de alimentos con un 16%, mientras que Estados Unidos tiene un arancel del 4,6%. En textiles, la Argentina cobra la tarifa más alta, con 20,9 por ciento, mientras que en EE.UU se aplica un 6,1 por ciento. Argentina cobra 8,1% en químicos y productos industriales y Estados Unidos impone un 0,3%. En plásticos, el arancel local es de 11% frente al 1,4% de EE.UU. En metales, la tarifa local es de 13,7% y el impuesto estadounidense es de apenas el 0,2”.
Werthein y su equipo comercial deberán trabajar sobre estos rubros e intentar sacar provecho de la buena relación entre Trump y Milei y lograr algún beneficio para que muchos productos queden exceptuados y lograr también un acuerdo a más largo plazo. Pero el camino es largo y los antecedentes no son de lo más auspiciosos. El gobierno de Mauricio Macri, por ejemplo, tardó varios años en lograr una consideración para la baja de los aranceles del acero y aluminio que impuso Trump en su primer mandato.
Igualmente una buena señal la dio un tuit de Marco Rubio, apenas terminó la ceremonia de tarifas de Trump. «Nuestra continua alianza con Argentina se traduce en mayores oportunidades económicas que pueden beneficiar a todos nuestros ciudadanos«, escribió el secretario de Estado. «Me reuní con el canciller argentino, Werthein, para conversar sobre el fortalecimiento de la cooperación en sectores económicos clave», dijo, y mencionó también otros temas bilaterales. En un tuit el martes, Rubio no había mencionado el tema económico.

Trump’s proposed presidential library revealed as towering Miami skyscraper in striking new video
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A newly released animated video shows renderings of President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, featuring a soaring waterfront skyscraper and museum space.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, offering a first look at the proposed project, while his son, Eric Trump, posted it on X with additional details, describing the project as a «lasting testament» to his father and his legacy.
«Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,» Eric Trump wrote, adding that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to «an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.»
«These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!» he added.
Eric Trump has been leading the project’s development and serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

The video, set to dramatic orchestral music, opens with sweeping aerial shots of the proposed waterfront site, showing landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green spaces before revealing the towering glass structure.
It shows a tall glass tower topped with a spire, with Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the facade and a large American flag draped down the center. A presidential plane resembling Air Force One is showcased on the ground floor, alongside gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional renderings show military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a towering gold statue of Trump, a stage and large-scale digital displays.

The design also includes replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a planned ballroom.
The presidential library is set to be designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted in late September to transfer the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

The proposed site, located near Trump National Doral, was briefly tied up in a legal battle after a federal judge paused the land transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The Miami site is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and is adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled communism in the 1960s and 1970s and sought asylum in the United States. The 100-year-old structure is considered a symbol of the city’s vibrant immigrant heritage.
The site is surrounded by luxury high-rise apartment buildings and has waterfront views, facing directly toward the Kaseya Center, home to the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, where many of the world’s largest cruise liners dock.

The parcel was appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, but it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
President Donald Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Trump Presidential Library Foundation’s other trustees are Tiffany Trump’s husband Michael Boulos and Trump attorney James Kiley.

Trump carried Miami-Dade County by 13 points, the first Republican to carry it since 1988.
The unveiling comes as former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is scheduled to open in June.

Russia allegedly sharing satellite intelligence on US bases with Iran, world leader claims
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian reconnaissance satellites have recently imaged key U.S. and allied military facilities across the Middle East, raising concerns about potential targeting, after returning from a high-stakes trip to Gulf countries now under Iranian attack.
Zelenskyy’s remarks come as Ukraine deepens its role in the region, sharing intelligence and defense expertise with Middle Eastern partners facing Iranian missile and drone strikes.
In a March 28 post on X, Zelenskyy said he had been briefed that Russian satellites photographed multiple strategic sites «in the interests of Iran,» including bases and critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
«Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes,» he wrote.

According to Zelenskyy, the surveillance occurred over several days in late March. On March 24, Russian satellites reportedly captured imagery of the U.S.-U.K. military facility on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The following days included Kuwait International Airport and parts of the Greater Burgan oil field, as well as Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Additional sites imaged on March 26 included Saudi Arabia’s Shaybah oil and gas field, Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, one of the largest U.S. military installations in the region.
Some of the locations identified by Zelenskyy, including places in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, have been targeted in recent Iranian attacks, though it remains unclear whether the satellite imagery he described was directly used in those operations.
The warning follows Zelenskyy’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan, where he discussed security cooperation and shared intelligence with regional leaders.

In an interview published Monday by Axios, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had provided Middle Eastern partners with information about Russian support for Iran, including potential targeting assistance.
«I think Russia is supporting Iran directly, 100%,» Zelenskyy told Axios. «The same format of sharing satellite images like they did in the case of Ukraine.»

Ksenia Svetlova, an associate fellow at Chatham House, said recent developments point to increased cooperation in that space. «There is more cooperation in everything that has to do with intelligence,» she said, citing reports that Russia has provided Iran with «a target list, basically, through their satellites, American targets, but also air targets in the Gulf.»
Svetlova added that such support enables Russia to assist Iran without deploying troops or equipment.
«They are doing for the Iranians whatever they can without spending money, spending troops, or spending equipment,» she said.

The White House has not confirmed the intelligence-sharing but said it is not impacting U.S. operations.
«Nothing provided to Iran by any other country is affecting our operational success. The United States military has struck more than 11,000 targets and destroyed more than 150 Iranian naval vessels, leading to their missile attacks and drone attacks decreasing by 90%. The terrorist Iranian regime continues to be crushed by the full might of the most lethal fighting force in the world,» White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also downplayed concerns about Russia’s role, telling reporters Friday: «There is nothing Russia is doing for Iran that is in any way impeding or affecting our operation or the effectiveness of it.»

Lt. Gen. Richard Newton (Ret.), a former U.S. Air Force assistant vice chief of staff, said the reports should not come as a surprise.
«The latest reports that Russia provided essential imaging intelligence to the Iranian regime to target a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia should surprise no one. Putin is our adversary who can’t be trusted.»
«We should avoid a direct conflict with Moscow,» he added, «but there must be consequences for Russia aiding and abetting the Iranian regime that harms American military personnel and our assets.»

Russia has not publicly responded to Zelenskyy’s claims. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Russian government and the Iranian mission to the United Nations for comment and did not receive responses in time for publication.
Carrie Filipetti, executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition and a former senior State Department official, told Fox News Digital the reports reflect a broader and growing threat.
«There is no clearer signal that Russia is a dangerous adversary than the continued reporting that Russia is providing intelligence targeting Americans to a regime currently engaged in combat against the United States,» Filipetti said.
«American service members’ lives are at continued risk because of Putin’s war machine,» she added, warning that Washington must act to «hold the Russian regime accountable and prevent future American deaths.»

Zelenskyy has also questioned ongoing discussions about easing sanctions on Russia.
«There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure,» he wrote.
