In November, The Biden administration hosted numerous delegations from Latin America and the Caribbean, where trade and investment were a central focus. This follows several months of notable advancement in the transatlantic relationship between the United States, Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center (AALAC) hosted a hybrid conversation on the future of economic partnership between Europe and the Americas on Monday, November 6, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. E.T.
Speakers at this event provided forward-looking analysis of global developments and opportunities that will shape regional trade in years to come, such as the Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity (APEP) and the ongoing trade negotiations between the EU and MERCOSUR, Chile, and Mexico. This discussion was part of AALAC’s partnership with the Embassy of Spain in the United States, the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, and the Wilson Center, and was co-hosted by the Europe Center at the Atlantic Council.
