The South American trade bloc Mercosur launched negotiations with Japan on Tuesday for an economic partnership agreement ​as it seeks to expand trade ties following a recent deal ‌with the European Union.

A deal would create a free trade area of about 400 million people with a combined GDP of $7 trillion. The push for new trade partnerships comes ​as U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on goods from trading ​partners around the globe have driven countries to diversify economic ties.
