10:32 AM EDT, 03/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The European Union will restart ratification of its trade deal with the US after a months-long delay, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

European Parliament members overseeing the process made the decision on Tuesday despite the US recently opening new investigations into EU trade practices that could result in additional tariffs, the report said. The lawmakers decided to move forward with the process, contingent on the US honoring the terms of the trade deal it struck with the bloc last summer, the report said.
