Experts argue that these measures mark a turning point globally, in the ideological and commercial.
Protectionism adopted by the United States in recent weeks has generated uncertainty worldwide, both in the economic and political aspect, raising questions about the new ways of relating and Chile’s position before this panorama.
This situation and its impact in Chile was analyzed by the academic of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the university of Talca, Guillermo Holzmann, within the framework of a master class organized by the Master in Management and Public Policies of the House of Studies.
“Trump marks a turning point globally, ideological, commercial and strategic. It moves in two large areas, in geostrategy and in geoeconomy. Use tariffs as a negotiation mechanism to achieve its geostrategic objectives. The question is, how are we going to anticipate or how we will consider a negotiation with the Trump structure? Holzmann.
For the expert, independent that President Donald Trump ends his period or not, he has marked a turning point that makes it necessary to reformulate international relations at the global level.
«In Chile, we must be able to negotiate with China, with the United States, and in turn also place our own benefit point. And that for us means technological transfer and develop an intelligent relationship strategy with both countries, ”added Holzmann.
For his part, Jorge Navarrete, president of the Civil Society Council (Cosoc) of the Maule and director of the aforementioned Master, said that, “the change that is taking place is a transformation of the economy, it has an impact on the lives of families, their income, in labor stability and by the way in the aggregate economy. That is, imports, exports and international cooperation.”
Informed community
On the relevance of the presentation, the dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the UTALCA, Arcadio Cerda, said that, “our institution, as a public university, must be concerned with the issues of the region and respond in a good way with information and studies so that the community is informed.”
“In that context a few days ago we had an analysis of tariffs from the economic point of view. Today we return with a similar theme but now from the political point of view and the short -term analysis,” he added.
