The warning shot from the European Parliament comes as the 27-nation bloc weighs how hard to hit back if Trump follows through against Washington's long-standing allies. EU lawmakers have agreed to hold off ratifying a key trade deal with the United States following President Donald Trump's tariff threats over Greenland. The warning shot from the European Parliament comes as the 27-nation bloc weighs how hard to hit back if Trump follows through against Washington's long-standing allies.
