After several days preparations Mercosur and United States, 4+1 trade talks will officially begin this Monday in Washington. Foreign Affairs Ministers from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay will be meeting with US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick to agree on a common agenda for the coming months
Uruguay that currently holds the Mercosur chair, will coordinate with other group members the intelligence, defence and financial information to be granted in support of the United States war on terrorism.
As the focus switches to punishing the terrorists responsible for the horrific hi-jack attacks on New York and the Pentagon in Washington, the massive United Kingdom debate on what to do next involves senior military officers who played a decisive role in the 1982 Falklands conflict. Those still in the armed forces are engaged at the highest level in planning counter-terrorist action.
