Foreign investors are increasingly focusing on the UK due to growing political uncertainty in France.

This shift is occurring as French President Emmanuel Macron attempts to delay the EU"s trade agreement with South America, known as the Mercosur pact.

Macron"s efforts to stall the deal are met with opposition from French farmers and government officials.

Trade Minister Sophie Primas has warned that finalizing the Mercosur accord would be a "political mistake" that could jeopardize European unity.

Despite the protests, analysts believe that France may struggle to prevent the agreement from progressing, as discussions for a potential deal are scheduled for early December.

This situation highlights the tension within the EU regarding trade relations and the influence of domestic political pressures on international agreements.
