Paris (AFP) - France will ask the European Commission next month to end negotiations on a massive trade deal between the European Union and the United States, the country's junior minister for trade said Tuesday.

"There is no more political support in France for these negotiations" and "France calls for an end to these negotiations," Matthias Fekl told RMC radio.
