Other topics related to the three main ones, also discussed during the meeting, include 6G wireless communications, Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industry and other areas, the manipulation of information and its effect on the youngest, commercial relations.

On transatlantic trade relations, both parties “agreed on a work program for the Transatlantic Initiative on Sustainable Trade, which will allow closer cooperation to advance the green transition, and adjust regulations related to export restrictions on items sensitive to Russia and Belarus.

Considering that in 2022 trade between the US and the EU reached a record figure of 1.55 trillion euros, during the meeting the parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen “commercial relations by facilitating them in key sectors”.
