gran acuerdo o trato grande


Explanation:

Explanation:
Aquí el término "bargain" no se refiere a "ganga", "chollo" o cosa muy barata que se adquiere, sino a un acuerdo que se alcanza entre dos partes. "Grand bargain" se suele utilizar en el ámbito político, como, por ejemplo, cuando dos líderes o dos países llegan a un acuerdo de gran magnitud.
