European Parliament postpones decision on EU-US trade deal
The European Parliament postponed until next week a decision on whether to resume work on the trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States, after suspending the approval process last week in protest against US President Donald Trump's push to acquire Greenland and his tariff threats against European allies, a senior lawmaker said Monday.
TL;DR
