European Union-MERCOSUR trade deal now live

The massive EU-mercosur Partnership Agreement took effect on Friday, four months after its signing and 25 years after negotiations began. That means the 27 members of the EU and the four members of mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) are now applying tariff cuts and allowing firms from across the Atlantic to bid on business and government contracts. The deal is provisional, however, because it is under review for legality by the Court of Justice of the European Union and has not been fully ratified. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, is pursuing implementation, with constitutional legality and the will of European people and nations as an afterthought, and is overpowering France in its push to create a $22 trillion economic zone of 720 million people that also encroaches on the United States’ trade. Bible prophecy warns that a rising European superpower is about to cut the U.S. off from the global market.
