A landmark EU–South America free trade agreement may be the real trigger behind President Donald Trump’s decision to slap tariffs on NATO allies. While Greenland has dominated headlines, analysts point to the newly signed EU–MERCOSUR pact as a deeper threat to U.S. trade interests and global influence. <br /> <br />The deal, signed in Paraguay after 25 years of stalled talks, creates the world’s largest free trade zone, linking nearly 700 million people. As the pact awaits ratification, Trump’s tariffs are being seen as a warning shot against Europe’s expanding economic reach, raising tensions across NATO and global markets. <br /> <br />#Trump #NATO #Tariffs #EUMercosur #TradeWar #Geopolitics #WorldNews #GlobalTrade #Europe #SouthAmerica #MERCOSUR #EU #USForeignPolicy #EconomicPower #BreakingNews #VonDerLeyen #FreeTrade #InternationalRelations #GlobalMarkets #Politics<br /><br />~HT.96~PR.152~
