United States

Strengthening Transatlantic trade and economic cooperation.

As the EU’s most important trading partner, relations with the United States provide business opportunities and jobs across Europe. However, navigating this bilateral relationship can be challenging at times. The EU should work on strengthening Transatlantic relations by cooperating as closely as possible on trade and investment, as well as on global challenges like climate change. At the same time, the EU must defend its economic interests staying united and utilising available policy tools at European level. In cases of trade tensions, disputes and irritants, it is imperative that the EU seeks solutions through negotiation.
