European lawmakers suspend U.S. trade deal amid Greenland tariff tensions
European Parliament halted ratification after U.S. tariff threats tied to Greenland control demands, citing risks to EU sovereignty and trade stability, said Bernd Lange.
- On January 21, 2026, the European Parliament suspended work on proposed U.S.-EU trade measures, pausing the two Turnberry legislative proposals tied to tariff suspensions and settings.
- On Sunday, more than half a dozen European countries warned that tariff threats over Greenland undermine transatlantic relations, while the Parliament cited sovereignty concerns over Denmark and Greenland.
- Greenland, the world's largest island, governs its own domestic affairs within the Kingdom of Denmark, and President Donald Trump said at Davos, `All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.`

- With tariff threats and public remarks, the White House pressed allies over Greenland as President Donald Trump threatened a 10% tariff on the eight European countries unless a deal was reached.
