The European Commission and Mercosur countries announced on Friday the conclusion of an agreement creating a free trade area covering 780 million people.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: âThe West as we knew it no longer exists.â In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trumpâs aggressive tariffsâ20% on EU goods and 25% on carsâfor collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the worldâs trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?
