Important to remember that the entire Mercosur block has a lower GDP than just California, and around the same GDP as Texas and New York, separately.

But now it will be much easier for the Mercosur block to finance the infrastructure needed to become agricultural export powerhouses. Death by a thousand cuts for the USA is just as bad a one fatal blow.

		I don't feel that an "agricultural export powerhouse" is all that desirable a title to own on the global stage, but yes; it is within reach for the Mercosur block. Possibly the only thing within their reach at this point. Agriculture represents ~3% of all US exports, and ~7% of that ~3% flows to the EU; a very small cut indeed.
