The signing ceremony in Paraguay’s humid capital of Asunción marks a major geopolitical victory for the #EU in an age of #Trump #tariffs & surging #China exports, expanding the bloc’s foothold in a #resource-rich region increasingly contested by Washington & Beijing.

It also sends a message that #SouthAmerica keeps diverse #trade & #diplomatic relations even as #US President Donald #Trump attempts to declare dominance in the #WesternHemisphere.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who head’s the #EU’s executive branch, said that “the geopolitical importance of this agreement cannot be overstated” amid revived skepticism about the benefits of #FreeTrade.

“We choose #fair #trade over #tariffs. We choose a productive long-term #partnership over #isolation,” she declared at the ceremony attended by the presidents of #Mercosur members #Argentina, #Uruguay & #Paraguay, & by the foreign minister of the trading bloc’s biggest #economy, #Brazil.
“We will join forces like never before, because we believe that this is the best way to make our people & our countries prosper.”

@Nonilex I wonder how this affects Argentina, given that it's apparently being actively colonized by Israelis and Europe seems intent on enabling Netanyahu
In creating one of the world’s largest #FreeTrade zones, the accord — pushed by #SouthAmerica’s renowned cattle-raising countries & #Europe’s industrial sectors craving new markets for cars & machines — brings together a #market of more than 700 million #consumers that accounts for a quarter of #global #GDP.
