A TPN Update special edition:
“Now is the time to strengthen EU-US relations”

With elections in the European Union and the United States during 2024 and a geopolitical situation looking like it will get even worse, there is no time for delay in taking action to deepen the transatlantic relationship. The upcoming NATO summit provides an opportunity to future-proof the relationship built on trust, friendship, and an understanding of its many benefits for both sides. 

Danuta Huebner MEP and US Congressman Jim Costa present a cogent look at the dangerous times to come.

Launched to promote the closest possible partnership between the Governments and the peoples of the European Union and the United States, the Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN) has a proud record of achievement as well as vital ambitions for the future.

From a small original base of support in the European Parliament and the US Congress, TPN has grown into a broadly based multi-party group of EU and US politicians, corporate leaders, think tanks, civil society stakeholders, and academics. Through regular informal dialogue and the maintenance of close personal relationships, TPN participants keep the two administrations focused on the indispensable goal of a strengthened Transatlantic Partnership.

Concentrating on the present but thinking about the future, TPN’s meetings and publications have outlined strategies for establishing the Transatlantic Partnership to be in a position to help set the rules for the global economy in the 21st century.

Looking at long-term trends to define the priorities for the Partnership ahead, TPN helps frame the debate on how governments should anticipate challenges, measure risks, and adopt the necessary policies for global economic and political stability.
