The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, is under pressure to finalize the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement despite opposition from France during a summit in Uruguay. The agreement, which aims to eliminate most customs duties, has concerns from France regarding its environmental impact and potential harm to European farmers. The proposal, which has been under discussion since 1999, seeks to create a market of over 700 million consumers, sparking strong disagreement among European politicians like Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard, who have publicly expressed their opposition to the agreement.
