Left-wing MEPs fail to block EU-US trade deal

Left-wing MEPs have failed to block the EU-US trade deal, despite their opposition to it.

The deal, which has been in the making for several years, aims to create a free trade area between the two continents.

However, left-wing MEPs have expressed concerns about the impact of the deal on workers' rights and the environment.

"This deal is a betrayal of our values and a threat to our democracy," said MEP Paul Murphy of the Socialist and Democrat group.

"It will lead to the exploitation of workers and the destruction of the environment.

The left-wing MEPs had been trying to block the deal through a series of votes in the European Parliament.

However, they were unable to gather enough support to block the deal.

"We are extremely disappointed by the outcome," said MEP Sira Rego of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left group.

"This deal is a disaster for workers, the environment and for democracy."

Despite the failure to block the deal, left-wing MEPs vow to continue fighting against it.

"We will continue to fight against this deal and to defend the interests of workers and the environment," said MEP Murphy.
