Event Summary

A senior EU lawmaker, Bernd Lange, has proposed postponing a vote on the EU-US trade deal, citing changes in the terms and legal basis of the agreement. This comes after the US Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump's global tariffs, prompting him to impose new tariffs of 10%, later hiked to 15%. The European Union and the United States had previously agreed on a deal to avert a trade war, involving the EU removing import duties in exchange for a 15% US tariff on most EU goods. The International===European Parliament had already suspended work on the deal last month due to Donald Trump's demands regarding Greenland and tariff threats.
