Transatlantic relations on the rocks: A conversation with Sergey Lagodinsky

Interview
Donald Trump is back in the White House and with him, a foreign policy that openly questions the sovereignty of allies, undermines democratic values, challenges European security commitments, and disrupts established trade relations. The European Union now faces a stark reality: The United States, once the guarantor of Europe’s security, prosperity, and democracy, has become its saboteur. How should the EU respond to this shifting landscape? Roderick Kefferpütz interviews Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky.

Rebuilding Transatlantic relations

Dossier
On 20 January 2021, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris respectively became President and Vice-President of the United States of America.

How will the USA recover its economy, overcome social and political polarisation and regain trust at global level? How will Transatlantic relations be rebuilt? Contributions from our foreign offices and partners.

Source code: A trade-related barrier to the right to repair

Report
A new report commissioned by the Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD), and supported by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung's EU | Global Dialogue and Washington, DC USA | Canada | Global Dialogue offices, highlights mounting concerns that international trade agreements are creating barriers to consumers’ right to repair the products they own. As everyday devices from smartphones to tractors become ever more reliant on software, restrictive clauses in free trade agreements are making it harder for consumers and independent repairers to access the tools and information they need for effective repairs.
