The European Union has decided to pause the approval of the U.S. trade deal in response to ongoing threats from former President Trump regarding new global tariffs. Lawmakers are concerned about the implications of a 15% tariff, which has led to a call for clarification from the U.S. administration. This decision follows a series of tariff disruptions and legal challenges faced by Trump’s policies, prompting the EU to express its insistence that the U.S. must honor existing trade agreements. As uncertainty looms, EU officials are contemplating the potential impacts on the transatlantic trade relationship.
