EP "Freezes" Ratification of EU-US Trade Agreement

The European Parliament has decided to suspend the ratification process of the trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, in response to recent threats by Donald Trump regarding Greenland. This decision represents a common position of the main political groups in Parliament. The President of the Socialists and Democrats, Iratxe García Pérez, confirmed the existence of a "majority agreement" to halt the agreement, which was reached last year. This move signals the EU's strong dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's unpredictable behavior and the uncertainty it creates in international relations.
