I guess this lady knows that she is going head-to-head with CFK.

Argentina, unsrer instruction from CFK, was the nation that SET UP the trade restrictive devices between Argentina and Brasil - on over 100 different type of goods!

Do as I say, not as I do.

There goes the mercosur and EU trade agreement out the window then - ah Protectionism at its best. Without imports fromt the rest of the world and lack of manufacturing ability or infastructure to replace such imported goods up goes inflation and interest rates. Oh and your trade agreement with china would likely go out the window too. You can not simply base you economy on exports alone and expect other to take from you but not have yo take anything back from them in return. Global import/export markets are all about give and take i.e. export and importing, not just about exporting. In other words no country is going to import from a country or block of countries that do not import from the country they are trying to export too.

There will be no trade agreement with the EU because of the protectionist tendencies of their politicians and the stuck-up attitude of their cowardly farmers. Btw, this piece of advice of yours - to “not simply base you economy on exports alone and expect other to take from you but not have yo take anything back from them in return” - you should give it to EU politicians and lobbyists.
