An unmatched economic partnership in scale and importance\u00a0<\/p>\n
The relationship between the European Union and the United States remains the world\u2019s largest bilateral trade and investment partnership.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2025, EU-US trade in goods and services reached \u20ac1.8 trillion<\/strong>, meaning that every day around \u20ac4.9 billion<\/strong> in goods and services cross the Atlantic. Mutual investment totalled \u20ac4.9 trillion <\/strong>in 2024 and continues to grow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n This scale makes the transatlantic economy a central pillar of global growth, jobs and prosperity.\u00a0<\/p>\n Transatlantic trade remained resilient in 2025\u00a0<\/p>\n Despite global turbulence and the volatile developments in the relationship, transatlantic trade remained steady in 2025 and continued to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n EU exports of goods to the United States increased by 3.5%<\/strong>, rising from \u20ac536 billion<\/strong> to \u20ac555 billion<\/strong>. The EU maintained its position as the number one US supplier, and EU companies and customers continue to be invested in growing the partnership. Since the beginning of 2025, EU companies announced investments in the US market worth almost \u20ac250 billion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n As the EU advances its energy diversification objectives, the US has become an important source of energy supply. Since 2025, EU companies closed deals worth \u20ac230 billion of energy resources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n These figures show that the EU-US trade and investment flows remained robust even in a challenging environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n Balanced trade flows\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n EU-US trade is balanced and complementary. The EU recorded a goods trade surplus of \u20ac198 billion<\/strong>, while the US enjoyed a services trade surplus of \u20ac178 billion<\/strong>. The remaining gap stands at around \u20ac20 billion<\/strong>, equal to just 1% of total trade<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Taken together, these figures underline the balance and the complementary strengths of the transatlantic trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n Opportunities for collaboration going forward\u00a0<\/p>\n The EU-US deal forms the basis<\/strong> for further work and cooperation to increase trade and improve the environment for doing business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n There is scope for further lowering tariffs<\/strong> on the US side, as well as to cut red tape and promote regulatory cooperation. The EU and US are set to improve cooperation and coordination in the digital sector<\/strong>, which is central to growth, jobs, innovation and trade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The EU and US \u2013 along with other like-minded partners \u2013 are also joining forces via the Pax Silica initiative to strengthen strategic supply chains in the AI and semiconductor sectors<\/strong> and increase business opportunities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Together with like-minded partners, the EU and US \u2013 via the EU-US Action Plan on Critical Minerals \u2013 <\/strong>are stepping up work to strengthen supply chain resilience and explore the potential for deeper structured cooperation in the area of critical minerals, including through a possible Agreement on Trade in Critical Minerals<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An unmatched economic partnership in scale and importance\u00a0 The relationship between the European Union and the United States…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1111244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,13307,299,5187,1699,3058],"class_list":["post-1111243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-eu","tag-eu","tag-eu-us-relations","tag-europe","tag-european","tag-european-union","tag-international-trade"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116983062137113639","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1111243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1111244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1111243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1111243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1111243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
