As the idea of globalization experiences increasing contention, avenues for advancing shared transatlantic values and interests in areas like climate, technology, and supply chains are gaining attention. During this event, participants had the opportunity to discuss the Biden administration’s priorities for working with Germany and the European Union to renew the transatlantic and broader global trade operating system.
