The European Parliament has given final approval to a summer tariff agreement with the United States, ending months of delays that were partly caused by President Donald Trump's demands to take over Greenland. On Thursday, the Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of the two parts of the agreement, with margins of 417 to 154 and 437 to 144 respectively. The approval process had been postponed multiple times, with one significant delay attributed to Trump's controversial Greenland acquisition demands.
The agreement includes clauses that allow the EU to suspend the deal if the United States fails to fulfill its obligations. The vote represents the final legislative hurdle for the trade agreement that was originally negotiated last summer between EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and President Trump.
