Brakes put on EU-MERCOSUR deal?

The European Parliament slowed down the approval process for the recently signed EU-mercosur trade deal today by voting, 334 to 324, to refer it to the Court of Justice of the European Union to assess whether it is compatible with EU treaties. The court could take over a year to rule—a significant delay for the massive and controversial treaty. However, the European Commission can put the deal into force provisionally without waiting for the court to rule. The deal continues to face significant opposition within Europe, but elites and powerful nations are determined to push it through. Bible prophecy shows that such a trade alliance will lead to a comprehensive and sophisticated economic siege against the United States. Decades ago, the Plain Truth under Herbert W. Armstrong identified these prophecies as pointing to “two gigantic trade blocs, Europe and Latin America ….” Continue to watch the approval process for the EU-mercosur deal. It may encounter yet more resistance, but Germany is committed to putting it into effect.
