From Monday, 20 to Wednesday, 22 April, AmCham EU joined the AmChams in Europe network for a delegation visit to Washington, DC. As part of the programme, delegates met with representatives from the US Department of Commerce, the US Department of State, congressional offices and the US Chamber of Commerce. AmCham EU specifically also engaged with the Office of the United States Trade Representative, US Members of the House and staffers, the EU Delegation to the US, the European Parliament Liaison Office and other business organisations.

Discussions focused on the implementation of the EU-US Framework Agreement and its role in supporting a more predictable transatlantic trade and investment relationship. The deal remains the most realistic route to a more constructive climate for companies operating across the Atlantic. The EU-US strategic partnership on critical minerals points to the potential for further EU-US cooperation in areas that benefit businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.
