About this event
Required reports on the U.S. administration’s “America First Trade Policy” are due on April 1 and will address trade issues beyond tariffs. The proposals will impact the future of U.S.-German and broader transatlantic economic relations, with a focus on policies that blend national and economic security such as export controls, investment screening, anti-coercion tools, and intellectual property. It also follows the recent radical shifts in geoeconomic strategy in Germany and the European Union that break with years of fiscal and defense policy orthodoxy.
AGI and GMF will examine the nature of U.S., German, and EU economic and national security interests, where they overlap and where they are in conflict, and how the two sides of the Atlantic can continue to cooperate on joint approaches in a more disorderly global economic environment.
Please contact AGI Program Associate Jack Fornasiero at [email protected] with any questions.
