Today in Washington D.C., I spoke at @AEI on why we need EU & U.S. leadership more than ever.
Authoritarian regimes/non-market actors continue to undermine global economy & security.
In such a world, 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸should move closer - not further apart - wherever possible.

We already have a perfect platform to develop key 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 policy responses:
The Trade & Technology Council.
@POTUS & @vonderleyen have called for a modern transatlantic trade agenda.
We therefore need to see clear trade deliverables at next month’s #TTC meeting in Sweden.

EU & U.S. should be converging, not diverging, on:
✅Trade Facilitation
✅Green & clean industrial transformation
✅Economic security
✅@wto reform
✅Global standard-setting

Transatlantic cooperation always matters most at decisive moments in history. I believe now is such a moment.
So we must make smart choices:
#TTC is our best hope for taking 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 partnership to the next level.

EU-U.S. cooperation on #Ukraine has been extraordinary.
We must ramp up our work to support 🇺🇦to victory - and replicate this unity of purpose in other areas.
Both sides of the Atlantic & the global community can benefit from us doing so.
