This episode explores the landmark free trade agreement between the European Union and Australia after eight years of negotiations. The deal removes tariffs on key goods—boosting European exports like wine, cheese, and luxury cars—while securing EU access to critical minerals and clean energy resources such as hydrogen. We also examine concerns from European farmers over meat import quotas and how this agreement strengthens a broader geopolitical partnership amid global trade uncertainty.
