The talks about a transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) are in the freezer, and as long as US president Donald Trump continues his protectionist and anti-EU message, they will stay there. But since Trump and the EU never formally cancelled the talks, TTIP could be brought in from the cold. •Trump does not see trade deals in multilateral, strategic terms. And Europe’s heated debate about TTIP hardly takes the deal’s foreign policy dimension into account. But an agreement would deepen transatlantic co-operation at a time when the notion of ‘the West’ is increasingly in question. It would help push back against illiberal trade practices and strengthen the rules-based global trading order. And it would support European energy security. |
