This major new study offers concrete recommendations for a more effective and strategic US-EU partnership in a G20 world-- including a Transatlantic Solidarity Pledge; new U.S--EU security links; a zero tariff trade deal; an invigorated approach to Europeś neighborhood; and many more. The study is the result of a unique collaboration between 3 US think tanks and 8 European think tanks, together with the Swedish, Spanish and Czech EU Presidencies.
