The EU Commission signed off on a major trade deal with South American bloc Mercosur on Wednesday.
The deal must now be approved by at least 15 of the European Union's 27 member states in order to go into effect.
Talks with Mercosur began in 1999 and have stalled several times.
Separately, the Commission also approved off on a trade deal with Mexico.
In a post on the platform X, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen referred to the two deals as "milestones," adding that the EU was doubling down on the "diversification" of it strade ties.

Oh hell yeah.
