The European Union on Wednesday halted work on the formal approval and implementation of the trade deal it reached last summer with US President Donald Trump.
Bernd Lange, chairman of the European Parliament’s international trade committee, said the decision was taken due to ongoing and rising tensions. He cited continued threats, including tariff threats, directed at Greenland, Denmark and other European allies.
