This month’s Deep Dive in partnership with Global Miami Net is on Transatlantic Trade.
The European Union and the United States have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship and enjoy the most integrated economic relationship in the world. Although overtaken by China in 2021 as the largest EU import source for goods, the transatlantic relationship continues defining the world economy. The US remains the EU’s largest trade and investment partner by far and either the EU or the US is the largest trade and investment partner of almost every other country in the global economy. The EU and the US are also each other’s biggest source of foreign direct investment. Taken together, the economies of both territories amount to more than 40% of world GDP and more than 40% of global trade in goods and services.
Our speaker will offer an update on the state of EU-US trade relations, the effects of the pandemic, FTAs, trade between the EU & FL, and more.
