The European Parliament suspended implementation and postponed votes on a trade agreement with the US after US demands to acquire Greenland and threats of fresh tariffs. The trade deal had been brokered with the Trump administration last summer and included components debated after the Turnberry meeting in Scotland. US President Donald Trump said he 'won't use force' to take Greenland and called for immediate negotiations over acquisition.
