Trade is one of the most important elements in the transatlantic relationship, and the values of open and fair competition have underpinned efforts by the United States and the European Union to uphold the rules-based international trading system. Since the arrival of the Biden administration, the two economic superpowers have taken steps to reduce bilateral trade frictions and launched several initiatives aimed at enhancing their cooperation on global economic strategy.
On this episode of The Zeitgeist, AGI President Jeff Rathke and Geoeconomics Program Director Peter Rashish discuss the future of transatlantic trade policy with Cecilia Malmström, nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and former European Commissioner for trade. What is the state of the EU’s trade policy? How is the incoming German government likely to influence the bloc’s trade agenda? What should be the focus of the next U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) summit? And how can Washington and Brussels work together to reform the WTO in areas like climate and the role of non-market economies?
