STRENGTHENING EU-US ENERGY COOPERATION

Regardless of the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, the climate agenda is not going away. Europe will want to keep the United States engaged on climate as much as possible, and it is not in the US interest to be isolated on this issue. Despite differences on both sides of the Atlantic, there will be strong incentives for the United States and the EU to work together on a structure that allows continued forward movement on global capital engagement. EU-US energy cooperation has a win-win history.
