Jan. 21 (UPI) -- European Union lawmakers said Wednesday that approval of the trade agreement between the bloc and the United States is suspended until President Donald Trump's threats over Greenland end.
A vote had been scheduled for next week in the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, also known as INTA.
In a statement, Bernd Lange, European parliament member and INTA chair on EU-U.S. relations, said that Trump's recent statements about raising tariffs by 10% to 25% on European countries goes against the agreement, CNBC reported.
Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, and called for "immediate negotiations" on acquiring Greenland.
