Story summary

U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Andrew Puzder urged the European Parliament to approve a stalled U.S.–EU trade deal, warning that failure would raise tariffs.
The deal would set a 15% tariff ceiling on EU goods in exchange for eliminating duties on US products.
The agreement, initially struck last year, faces delays from U.S. tariff strategies and tensions, including Trump's Greenland threats, though Puzder remains confident Parliament will vote soon.
