    Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

    Couple of years ago this was put on hold because Brazil wouldn’t stop burning the Amazon. Last year Brazil approved so called “Devastation Bill” that rolled back many environmental protections but I guess EU is too weak now to further delay this trade deal.

    Meanwhile in Argentina Milei is celebrating signing this deal while praising Trump, who’s trying to undermine EU.

    Not sure if it’s a good deal for EU or a sign of desperation. EU used to use its deals to shape the world. Now they are celebrating a deal which will strengthen our opponents in Argentina while capitulating on environment in Brazil.
