That's it - 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's 'surrender deal' is dead. The EU is complying with the terms of their surrender. The 🇪🇺Parliament has ratified the terms. It is the US which is breaking the terms of the deal with this new tariff threat. Appeasement has not worked.

The deal should be dead. But the EP had not ratified it yet? Didnt they send it (to the anger of national politicians) to a court evaluation of some sort, playing for time? Or was that done and ratification then happened? It may easily have slipped past me.

No they referred to the court for Mercosur (the real trade deal that was actually good and fair). The EP ratified the surrender to Trump, with provisions that it will be cancelled if the US doesn't abide by the terms. If this 25% tariff goes forward, that's clearly a reason for the EU to cancel it

yes. i was searching thee news and indeed i confused it However should it then not now be auto-suspended?
