EU-US trade relations – What does the future hold?

Thursday, 17 October 2024 | 15:00 - 16:15 CET

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.

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.

Confirmed panellists:

Matthias Jørgensen, Head of Unit USA and Canada, DG TRADE, European Commission
Bernd Lange MEP, Chair INTA Committee, European Parliament
Tiffany Smith, Vice President for Global Trade Policy, National Foreign Trade Council
