00:01EU lawmakers on Monday moved to suspend the EU-US trade agreement.
00:07The United States Supreme Court ruled last week that some of the tariffs imposed in 2025 by Washington were illegal,
00:15prompting President Donald Trump to announce fresh 15% duties on imports.
00:20It's clear the legal basis has totally changed, and then we have the introduction of the new tariffs,
00:27which are totally different to the old tariffs.
00:30The deal was clinched in July 2025 by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Trump.
00:36It locks in 15% U.S. tariffs on EU exports, while granting zero-duty access to most American goods
00:42entering the bloc.
00:43Earlier on Monday, EU Trade Chief Sefcovic also held a video call with his G7 counterparts.
00:51What we told them is that for us, the clarity, how our deal would be respected,
00:57how our 15% all-inclusive tariff would be put in place is of utmost importance,
01:07because the deal is the deal, and we have to respect it.
01:11Any peace had already frozen the deal once after Trump threatened tariffs on several EU countries
01:17if they refused to let him acquire Greenland.
01:21Parliamentary work later resumed, and a vote on the deal was planned for Tuesday but has now effectively been scrapped.
01:27Yes, about as we will try to cover the deal once again.
01:30You are happy for you.
