France supports suspension of EU-US trade deal, says foreign minister
Jan 20 (Reuters) - France supports the suspension of a trade deal between the European Union and the United States, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told parliament on Tuesday, as a row over the future of Greenland intensified.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened a further wave of tariffs on some European nations until he is allowed to take control of Greenland.
"The threat of customs duties (is) being used as blackmail to obtain unjustifiable concessions", Barrot said, adding the European Commission has "very powerful instruments" to respond to Trump's threats.
The European Parliament is considering putting on hold the EU's implementation of the trade deal struck with the United States last summer in protest over Trump's threats to seize Greenland.
