Summary:

An initiative adopted by the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee on 28 June 2018.

While it highlights that the relationship between the United States and the European Union (EU) is the fundamental guarantor for global stability, it also regrets that the 'America First' policy introduced by the US administration harms the interests of both the EU and US and undermines mutual trust.

Further information:

The document stresses that the decision by the existing US administration to quit key international agreements, commitments and forums put at risk common values and the EU-US partnership. It also argues that any EU-US deal on trade and investment cannot be negotiated under pressure, nor under threat.
