French farmers drive 350 tractors to Parliament to protest low incomes and EU trade deal

French farmers steered some 350 tractors Tuesday over cobblestoned Paris avenues toward Parliament to protest low incomes and an EU trade deal with South America that they fear threatens their livelihoods. Escorted by police, the tractors tangled rush-hour traffic as they rumbled down the Champs-Elysees and other Paris avenues, and then over the Seine River to reach the National Assembly. Farmer anger in France and other European countries has escalated over a rash of challenges.
