EU Suspends Talks on Corporate Clause in U.S. Trade Deal 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
The European Union has frozen talks over a controversial section of a
trans-Atlantic trade deal with the United States to allow input from
member states. The EU says it wants to give members time to share their
input over a proposal that would grant corporations the right to sue
governments over potential trade violations. States will have three
months to voice their concerns.
