EU lawmakers urge freeze of US trade deal over Trump’s Greenland remarks

A group of European Parliament members from several EU countries on Wednesday called for the immediate freezing of the approval process for a proposed trade agreement with the US, citing renewed remarks by US President Donald Trump questioning Denmark’s territorial integrity over Greenland. In a letter sent to European Parliament President Roberta Metsola and the Conference of Presidents, the lawmakers urged the parliament to halt any consideration of the agreement “for as long as claims for Greenland and threats are made by the US administration”.
