The European Parliament has approved an EU-US trade deal that removes EU tariffs on American goods exported to Europe and accepts a 15% US levy on goods moving the other way, Deutsche Welle reported. Lawmakers backed the agreement despite fresh trade-war threats from Donald Trump. The deal is a long-awaited stabiliser for transatlantic commerce.
