Why is this easy but Mercosur is difficult?
Not so sure either of these agreements are really difficult. Sure, mercusor may end up in court, and this one needs to be ratified by the European countries and the Europe Parliament, but let’s be honest that is standard process. Both agreements will most likely be up and running within a year.
The planned deal was announced on 28 June at the 2019 G20 Osaka summit after twenty years of negotiations.

That’s no secret. The process speed it up because of Trump! Before trumpy , there was no urgency on anyone’s side.
Mercosur is still far from being accepted.
This is not ratified yet. This is the negotiator putting pressure on the (member states and Parliament I guess?) to ratify it quickly.
They did apparemtly listen to the farmers protesting Mercosur and excluded agrarian products and dead animals this time.
