'EU agrees to resume work on US trade deal'

 The European Parliament voted to "resume work" on implementing a trade deal with the United States, chair of Parliament's International Trade Committee Bernd Lange announced on Wednesday.

"A majority of shadow rapporteurs of the International Trade Committee have today decided to resume work on the two Turnberry legislative proposals. A vote could therefore potentially take place at the next committee meeting on Tuesday 24 February," Lange added in a statement.

The ratification of the deal, agreed in July, was paused in late January over US President Donald Trump's demand to acquire Greenland. That agreement lowered US levies on most European goods to 15% from the 30% Trump originally threatened as part of his "Liberation Day" wave of penalties in April. In return, Europe promised to invest in the US and implement measures on the continent that would boost US exports.
