Please join WITA for an armchair discussion with the Ambassador of the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, Jovita Neliupšienė, and Ambassador Susan Schwab, the former United States Trade Representative. The Ambassadors will discuss the trade policy priorities of the new European Commission as it prepares to take office later this year, and the European Union’s trade and investment footprint in the United States. 

Following the discussion between the Ambassadors, an expert panel will discuss trade relations between the U.S. and EU, and the possibility for deepening ties between the world’s first and third largest economies.
