👇👇👇The original thread by @petereharrell and the reply by @Brad_Setser are both to the point. While it is complicated to undo dependecies, much more thinking needs to be done how to overcome them (and I don’t mean more tariffs…)

Useful points from Mr. Harrell. I am somewhat less optimistic about "innovation" as the US bias towards projects with potentially big returns sometimes gets it the way of actually going things using proven technology that offer more modest returns ...

¡Seguimos avanzando hacia la firma de nuestro Acuerdo Global modernizado! Fortaleceremos nuestra asociación estratégica, diversificaremos nuestras relaciones comerciales, abriremos nuevas oportunidades económicas y crearemos más empleos en beneficio de nuestros pueblos. 🇪🇺🤝🇲🇽

Hoy, la Comisión Europea propuso firmar los acuerdos UE-Mercosur y UE-México. Estos acuerdos fortalecerán la cooperación política y las relaciones comerciales y de inversión, aportando beneficios concretos para los ciudadanos y las empresas del Mercosur, México y la UE. 🇪🇺🤝🇲🇽

We strongly support swift approval of the EU-#MERCOSUR and EU-#Mexico trade agreements. In a world of rising protectionism, these deals are vital for economic growth, geopolitical ties & access to critical raw materials - based on our shared values like democracy and rule of law.

Today, we are proposing major trade deals with Mercosur and Mexico. They will bring billions in exports and jobs for Europeans across the Union. It is a step forward for Europe’s global influence. Extract from my press remarks ↓



👇This important: the concerns of the farming community are addressed. The small print on safeguards against import surges and on effective sanitary controls matters. The case for ratifying the Agreement has never been stronger. @CHansenEU

EU-Mercosur Agreement: I have heard farmers' concerns during my on-the-ground visits. Imports will be limited, controls increased, and our farmers' interests carefully protected. Our priority remains to protect those who feed us. 1/3

The commission will put forward the EU Mercosur trade agreement tomorrow. Finally. This agreement is facilitating trade with important partners but it is also a geopolitical necessity today . I really hope member states and the European Parliament will endorse it.


Realpolitik.👇👇👇@fbermingham

Rare to hear an EU official speak as candidly as Weyand “From Commission’s perspective this was a strategic trade-off not an economic policy ideal solution" “There was a risk the US in return would question the security partnership. That"s the realpolitik of the turning point"



Essential weekend reading 👇👇👇…and the winner is…China

No matter how many bilateral trade deals Trump brokers, no matter how many economies appear—at first—to align with Washington at high cost, the US will find itself bypassed in commerce/tech & less able to influence others’ investment & security decisions. fam.ag/3Jos8w8
