BRUSSELS, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The European Parliament is considering putting on hold the European Union's implementation of the trade deal struck with the United Statesin protest over threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to seize Greenland.
The European Parliament has been debating legislative proposals to remove many of the EU's import duties on U.S. goods - the bulk of the trade deal with the U.S. - and to continue zero duties for U.S. lobsters, initially agreed with Trump in 2020. It was due to set its position in votes on January 26-27, which the MEPs said should now be postponed.
