Transatlantic Relations: Change or Continuity?

The Congressional Research Service, a department of the Library of Congress, conducts research and analysis for Congress on a broad range of national and international policy issues. Some of the CRS work is carried out specifically for individual members of Congress or their staff and is confidential. However, there is also much CRS compiled material which is considered public but is not formally published on the CRS website.

For that reason a number of other organisations try to keep track of these publications and make them publicly available via their own websites. Currently, ESO uses the following websites to track these reports and allow access to them in ESO:

EveryCRSReport.com
Federation of American Scientists (FAS)

In some cases hyperlinks allows you to access all versions of a report, including the latest. Note that many reports are periodically updated.With the Trump Administration's entrance into office, many European leaders expressed concern about comments by the President and some key advisers that appeared to cast doubt on traditionally held U.S. views on NATO, the EU, and the multilateral trading system. European Council President Donald Tusk conveyed the anxiety of many when he stated that "the new administration [is] seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy." This report gives an idea of the United States' position after senior leaders of the new Trump Administration travelled to Europe for several high-level meetings in February 2017.
