Headline: UNCAPTIONED: EU Parliament Delays Decision on U.S. Trade Deal Amid Internal Divisions
Caption: EU Parliament Delays Decision on U.S. Trade Deal Amid Internal Divisions. The European Parliament has failed to reach a unified position on a trade agreement with the United States, delaying progress on removing tariffs for U.S. industrial goods and lobster - According to Politico. Lawmakers agreed to restart work on the deal, but disagreements remain over key conditions and safeguards. A committee vote is now expected in late February, with a full parliamentary vote likely in March. Some political groups want stronger protections built into the agreement, including clauses that would allow the EU to suspend the deal if Washington introduces new tariffs or threatens EU interests. Others argue further delays could hurt European businesses and investor confidence. The deadlock risks slowing negotiations with EU member states and the European Commission needed to turn the pact into law.
