How European Trade Deals are Replacing China and the US
After decades of stalled talks, Europe has reached a trade turning point: It's been on a deal signing spree, inking mammoth pacts with major powers like India, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil and Argentina. This is a story about how the world recalibrates when the US goes rogue, and the race to rely less on China.
On this episode of Business Beyond we go inside this trade reset with a focus on the EU-Mercosur megadeal. We look at what Europe wants from these new pacts, from access to Brazilian minerals to new customers for ailing German automakers, and ask whether Europe’s offer to the world is still valuable as middle powers wield more influence and point out past hypocrisies.
A year out from the body blow of Trump's tariffs, what do we know about the new trading order emerging from tariff chaos?
