We have short-, medium- and long-term strategies.
The short-term one.
In this contingency plan, it involves protecting a few, specific sectors—right now we only need to define how many and which they are—that need debt-term extensions, differentiated and subsidized interest rates, working capital, and assistance from the... the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, to also redirect their products.
Whether absorbing a small part of the domestic market, or opening up markets—for example, our Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, whom we have spoken very little about, is opening new markets for meat and agribusiness.
We are already entering nearly 300 new markets around the world.
So, this is the short-term one.
I just can't disclose it because the president will make the final decision on which contingency measures to take, what we can also bear, remembering that fiscal discipline will be preserved.
The target remains; we do not — it is very far from the reality of the pandemic; these are very different things in scale, in volume, in every respect.
The second point is the medium term.
Medium-term policies already mean... negotiations with some countries on bloc measures.
So this will lead us to advance even further in relations, accelerate the process of the relationship between Mercosur and the European Union, Mercosur with EFTA, Mercosur and Brazil with South America, to tighten and broaden ties with other countries, and to open the Asian market further.
And there's a third one, which I wouldn't even call long-term—that's also medium-term.
The world is no longer the same.
But this agreement, initially, was only good for the United States.
When I say agreement, it's not even about Brazil, because Brazil didn't even have an agreement.
When you look at the agreement made by the European Union, there's a large derogation.
The European Union is going to be able to put about $1.3 trillion into the American economy—what?
We don't even know over what period—three years, the Trump administration, or longer.
Part of it, I know, is energy; another part is investments.
Where are they going to get that money from?
Might they not have done this also to... Look... To buy time, to sit down at the negotiating table, to accept it so as not to be tariffed.
So India is the same now, with messages on social networks; China itself got a 90-day extension but doesn't know how its tariff situation will turn out.
So there will be a rearrangement of the global geoeconomy and geopolitics, because there could be an inflationary impact, including deficits related to these countries.
They may, at this moment, have won the battle—the United States is winning the battles—but I don't know if it will win in the end this war that is bad for everyone, this trade war.
