The two Congressmen, both leading Euro-Watchers in the U.S. House of Representatives, provided a bipartisan assessment of the current state of transatlantic affairs. This session offered a platform for exchange on topics of mutual concern on both sides of the Atlantic and the future of the transatlantic bond. Recent developments focusing on this year’s presidential election and possible repercussions on the Euro-American partnership were also addressed.
