The European Parliament has approved a trade deal with the United States after months of procedural delays, clearing a significant legislative hurdle for the agreement.

The trade deal, which was negotiated during the Trump administration, had been stalled in the European legislative process for an extended period before receiving parliamentary approval.

According to the terms of the agreement, European Union tariffs on U.S. goods would be reduced to zero percent, while U.S. tariffs on European imports would be set at 15 percent.

The approval represents a conditional endorsement by European lawmakers, though specific details about the conditions were not immediately available. The deal now moves forward in the ratification process after overcoming what some described as complex legislative procedures.

The agreement addresses trade relations between two of the world's largest economic blocs and could have significant implications for bilateral commerce between the United States and the 27-member European Union.
