US EditionLange: No Decision yet on Fate of EU-U.S. Trade Deal
The European Parliament postponed the EU-US trade deal vote to reassess after President Trump's Greenland threats and tariff disputes, citing concerns over deal balance and protections.
- Next week, the European Parliament put off a decision on resuming the EU‑US trade deal suspended in protest at U.S. President Donald Trump's Greenland demands and tariff threats, postponing international trade committee votes.
- The deal was suspended last week after U.S. President Donald Trump's Greenland demand and tariff threats, prompting EU leaders and MEPs to press for resuming implementation after some threat withdrawals.
- Many MEPs complained the agreement was lopsided and pushed for safeguards such as an 18‑month sunset clause while proposals would cut EU tariffs on U.S. goods to 0% and keep zero duties for U.S. lobsters.
- European Parliament President Roberta Metsola urged the assembly to proceed with implementation, increasing pressure on MEPs, while officials warned delays could anger U.S. President Donald Trump and raise tariffs.
- The European Parliament negotiating team will meet next Wednesday, 4 February, with a decision needed in time for the Feb. 23‑24 committee meeting, and final approval could still be a month or two away, as EU and Parliament negotiations continue.
