Chile's Undersecretary of International Economic Relations, Claudia Sanhueza, will hold a meeting this coming Wednesday with United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to review the tariff situation on Chilean exports, which are subject to a 10% quota.
During her meeting in Washington, the undersecretary will be accompanied by the Chilean ambassador to the United States, Juan Gabriel Valdés.
In addition, the visit will allow him to meet with Chilean business leaders who conduct a large part of their business in the North American country.
The objective of the meeting with the U.S. government is to maintain a "positive" discussion regarding the trade relationship between the two countries within the framework of the bilateral trade agreement that governs these relations.
According to Sanhueza, trade relations between Chile and the United States are developed under the free trade agreement, which will regulate commercial exchanges, and he believes some points of the text can be analyzed.
As Government Spokesperson Aisén Etcheverry explained this week, her plan undeniably focuses on supporting domestic industry, especially those companies that engage in trade with the United States.
Meanwhile, in Chile, the public-private group, comprised of business leaders, political authorities, and trade experts, continues its meetings to constantly monitor the trade situation and strengthen the executive branch's plans in this area.
Both Chile's Finance Minister, Mario Marcel, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are leading the country's negotiation efforts with the United States to avoid a negative impact of tariffs on its economy.
