4/ With #TTC, EU & U.S. are sending a message that we want to lead the way in setting 21st century standards & rules. At the core of this work are shared #transatlantic values: democracy, a human-centric approach to technology, economic growth benefiting workers. https://t.co/fPRmcOci01 | ||

5/We will cooperate to strengthen the multilateral system + reform @wto. We urgently need to address unfair trade practices of non-market based economies. Updated global rules must address issues of concern to our citizens: human rights, forced labour & sustainability/climate. | ||

6/ #POTUS 28, Woodrow Wilson famously said: ‘Friendship is the only cement that will hold the world together’. The long & unique EU-U.S. friendship is the best hope for building a better, safer, greener, fairer world. |
