Trade and Values
This session will examine transatlantic cooperation to promote equitable economic growth through trade by advancing Western values, norms, and principles. The U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council, the U.S.-EU steel agreement, options for a climate club, how to square U.S.-EU efforts for values-driven trade with WTO rules, and supply chain standards will be a focus of this session.

May 12 – Session Two
Trade and Security
Over the past year, the United States and the European Union have made progress on resolving several bilateral trade disputes surrounding tariffs, subsidies, and taxes that plagued their relationship for years if not decades. In a context of greater harmony in their bilateral relations—and just days ahead of the second meeting of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council near Paris—this session will explore avenues for advancing transatlantic global interests through trade policy, with a focus on how the U.S., Germany, and the EU can shape the international economic system so that it more effectively responds to the disruptive effects of China’s non-market economic behavior. It will also address the implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the future relationship between trade and national security, including the role of the World Trade Organization.
