Transatlantic Relation-5
A strong EU-U.S. partnership is crucial to building a more Democratic, Secure, and prosperous World.
Together, the European Union and the United States, with the population of over 827.2 millions represent:
- The account for almost half of global GDP
- And provide more than three-quarters of official development assistance Worldwide.
The Transatlantic Partnership has prospered for more than six decades, constructed on a solid foundation of common values, including a commitment to the rule of law, the democratic process, free enterprise, respect for human rights, and alleviating poverty.
