The EU is by far the most important economic partner of the United States (US). While the EU has different protective measures at its disposal to ensure its economic and commercial interests are respected[1], the EU-US relationship is balanced. No one is taking advantage of each other, but rather having a shared interest in nurturing and further developing the relationship.
The EU is open and pragmatic and ready to think big on how trade and investment opportunities can be increased between the two and how the EU and US can work together on shared challenges, like economic security and non-market policies and practices.
The EU reiterates that the sovereignty of states must be respected. The EU has committed to a mutually beneficial partnership with Greenland.
The partnership supports Greenland in the pursuit of its own objectives in terms of growth, security and connectivity and the EU will continue to invest in Greenland and into this value-based partnership.
In close collaboration with Denmark, the EU stands with Greenland in upholding Greenland’s right to self-determination. The EU remains ready to work further with the US and other allies, and in close collaboration with Denmark, on security in the Arctic region including in Greenland.
The Transatlantic relationship is founded on a shared history and strong bonds. For decades, this partnership has been a cornerstone of peace, security, and economic growth. The EU is ready to deepen and strengthen this relationship, discuss shared interests and address global challenges together.
