With elections on both sides of the Atlantic, 2024 is set to bring many changes to transatlantic relations. If the elections result in new leadership, priorities and strategies will shift, impacting trade and competitiveness policies.
Launched in 2021, the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) aims to revitalise transatlantic cooperation through coordinated approaches to key global trade, economic, and technology issues. Both regions have strong incentives to collaborate, but the specifics will depend on the outcomes of the elections and the policies adopted by new or continuing leadership. Moreover, the EU and the US may seek to renegotiate or reaffirm trade agreements to face global competitors such as China.
Join this Euractiv Virtual Conference to discuss what impact the upcoming US elections might have on transatlantic cooperation and how EU-US relations may develop in the coming years. Questions to be addressed include:
- How might European multinationals and SMEs, production and exports be impacted by the US election outcome? Is there scope for reduced trade barriers?
- What does industrial competitiveness mean for free trade? What role does the US Inflation Reduction Act play in transatlantic relations?
- What scope is there for new agreements and collaborations, addressing supply chain disruptions and labour market challenges? And how does that fit with reducing dependencies on global competitors such as China?
- What could be the implications of the upcoming US elections for EU security and defence, and the outcome of the war with Ukraine?
