Davos, Jan 20 (AP) The European Union's top official on Tuesday called into question US President Donald Trump's trustworthiness, saying that he had agreed last year not to impose more tariffs on members of the bloc.

“The European Union and the United States have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics as in business – a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

Greenland tariffs questioned as EU official says a prior trade deal means new US tariffs would be inconsistent with commitments. The European Commission President said the parties reached a trade deal last July and that proposing new tariffs over Greenland is inconsistent with that prior agreement, framing such unilateral tariff measures as contrary to expectations for commitments between allies.
