The government advised if it were not for its negotiators to accelerate the talks Free Trade Conventions With blocs and countries in the face of commercial restrictions imposed by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, the Esplanade sources report from the ministries CNN.
Through the guidance, the technicians reach the recent efforts on at least six fronts: expanding economic integration agreements (AESES) with Mexico and Colombia and the creation of free trade areas with the United Arab Emirates, Efta (European Bloc outside the European Union), Japan and Vietnam.
The expansion of power is already dealt with as two of the most “hot” in the list – including because Brazil is independent of MERCOSUR To apply with these conditions. Agreement with Colombia (ACE 72) has been valid since 2017, while one with Mexico, since 2002.
In case of negotiations with MexicoTechnicians indicate that the Brazilian agricultural products historically face rates of up to 60 % in the country, but they highlight that since 2022, a series of elements of “package against La Infición y la carstía” (PACIC) has been exempted from the Mexican government.
The idea is to unify these incentives in ACE, for example.
Among the new agreements negotiated, the most advanced is Yunon Merxor vehicles. The processed reference term – a kind of basis for the traditional negotiation process in commercial discussions – was created last year, and the two countries have already exchanged lists with possible conditions for products.
Negotiations with EFTA, which consists of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, were also mentioned as advanced. On the other hand, negotiations with Japan and Vietnam are dealt with as an “early stage”.

The signing was mentioned according to Singapore in 2023 and the completion of dealing with the European Union last year as examples.
