The European Union’s legislative body on Wednesday halted work on the formal approval and implementation of the trade deal it reached last summer with The Fascist Felon.
“Given the continued and escalating threats, including tariff threats, against Greenland and Denmark, and their European allies, we have been left with no alternative but to suspend work” on the deal, said Bernd Lange, the chairman of the European Parliament’s international trade committee.
“Until the US decides to re-engage on a path of cooperation rather than confrontation,” no steps to move the deal forward would be taken, Lange said in a statement.
The E.U. trade deal was reached in July during a visit by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Trump’s golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.
The core of the deal was a cap on U.S. tariffs applied to most imports from the E.U. at just 15%. The rate was among the lowest received by any trading partner last year.
