The European Parliament decided to suspend ratification of the trade agreement with the United States, escalating economic and diplomatic tensions with the administration of President Donald Trump.

Major political blocs confirmed a broad consensus in favor of freezing the agreement signed last year.

The leader of the Socialist group cited Trump’s threats and his linkage of trade issues to geopolitical matters, particularly the Greenland crisis.

The move sends a strong political message from Brussels, with Europe signaling possible further measures if U.S. pressure continues.
