The European Parliament decided on Monday to postpone for a second time a vote on the European Union’s trade deal with the United States after President Trump’s imposition of a new blanket 15% import tariff. The EU assembly has been debating legislative proposals to remove many EU import duties on US goods, a key part of the deal struck in Turnberry, Scotland, last July, as well as to continue zero duties for US lobsters, initially agreed with Trump in 2020. The proposals require approval by the parliament and EU governments.
