Businesses faced problems. Washington asked Ambassador Thomas Pinckney’s to meet up with Spanish officials and so he did. He then asked to reopen New Orleans to US trade. Manuel de Godoy, Spanish minister, worried that the US and Britain would join against Spain. So he avoided an agreement because he was waiting for Pinckney to become desperate, but fortunately his patience was worth it because in October 1795, Godoy agreed to Pinckney’s Treaty.
