EU LAWMAKERS BLOCK TRADE AGREEMENT OVER TARIFF DISPUTE

European Union lawmakers are putting the brakes on a key trade agreement with the United States following recent tariff threats from the US administration over Greenland-related geopolitical tensions.

The trade deal, which is partially operational but lacks full ratification, is now expected to face significant delays or potential collapse. This move signals rising protectionist sentiment in transatlantic negotiations and could reshape trade dynamics affecting global markets—including cryptocurrency exchanges and cross-border financial services that depend on stable regulatory frameworks.

The escalating trade tensions underscore mounting uncertainty in international commerce, with ripple effects likely to be felt across multiple sectors, including digital assets trading.

Another classic "I withdraw from the negotiation table" act... The EU's move is quite interesting; it seems tough but is actually a gamble that the US will make concessions. As for historical lessons, trade wars have never been won, and in the end, ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

The trade war is back, and this time even crypto is caught in the crossfire. Stability is always just a distant dream.

Haha, the EU is playing its hand well, but at critical moments, they still have to choke off the supply. --- Coming again? Now everything can be linked to the fluctuations in the crypto market... --- The Greenland meme is really absurd; these politicians are quite bored. --- Stable framework? That’s hilarious, brother. When has there ever been stability? --- The trade war is escalating, and we retail investors are really unlucky. --- The EU’s resilience is still intact, unlike some people who keep saying it’s about to collapse. --- Wait, does this really affect exchange liquidity? --- Stop, stop, they’re going to renegotiate again. Isn’t it annoying? --- Cross-border finance is the most affected. I think ETH has really been sluggish these past two days. --- It’s just political games; the crypto circle should have gotten used to this by now.
