About this Event

The EU and the US find themselves in 2025 faced with a number of economic, security and other challenges that might better be solved together, but that also have the potential to create friction between both partners. H.E. Jovita Neliupšienė, Ambassador of the European Union to the United States, provides an overview of the EU's main priorities to stabilize transatlantic cooperation.
