The European Union will stop working to legally implement the U.S. trade deal touted by President Donald Trump in response to threats to the bloc’s “territorial integrity,” the chairman of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade said on Wednesday, days after Trump threatened retaliatory tariffs on some European nations if they did not negotiate over ownership of Greenland.
Bernd Lange, an EU Parliament member from Germany and chair of the body’s Committee on International Trade, confirmed the pause in a post on X, noting “our sovereignty and territorial integrity are at stake” and insisting “business as usual [is] impossible.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
