INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION UPDATE

President Biden has declared throughout his trip to Europe that “America is back.” In some ways we agree: The weekend’s events and ongoing engagement with the Europeans and other leaders including the Japanese has effectively signaled U.S. leadership on the pandemic, climate, cyber, and other issues.

An agreement between the United States and the European Union on the long-running large civil aircraft disputes, accompanied by a pledge to suspend application of $11.5 billion in tariffs. We expect that removal of these damaging tariffs will provide significant relief for businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. It will also pave the way for the U.S. and EU to tackle non-market practices in global markets, uphold fair competition, and help our workers and companies compete on a level playing field. The U.S. and EU also launched a bilateral Trade & Technology Council, a strategic dialogue the Chamber has consistently encouraged. Lots of positive news, though we’ll continue to push for progress towards lifting Section 232 tariffs and finalizing a new Privacy Shield agreement.
