The European Parliament has formally put work on implementing the customs agreement agreed between the USA and the EU last year on hold. "With the threat of extra tariffs in connection with Greenland, the US President has finally overstepped the mark," said the Chairman of the Trade Committee, Bernd Lange (SPD), in Strasbourg.
