Brazil is optimistic that the EU-Mercosur trade deal can be ratified despite some opposition, and believes the current US tariff situation will impel this, a leading Brazilian trade envoy has told Euronews.
“We are very optimistic especially now that US has raised tariffs across the world,” Jorge Vian, head of ApexBrasil, Brazil's Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, told Euronews, adding: “With the hostile environment that the world is facing right now we may collaborate to improve the implementation of the agreement.”
