Macron Says EU-South America Trade Deal "Really Bad"

French President Emmanuel Macron blasted the long-stalled free trade agreement between the European Union and South America's Mercosur bloc Wednesday during a visit to Brazil.

The deal "as it is negotiated today is a really bad agreement, for you and for us," Macron told an economic forum in Sao Paulo.

"Let's build a new agreement... one which is responsible from a development, climate and biodiversity point of view," he added.
