After three intensive and inspiring days in Washington, D.C., one message stands out:
Despite policy differences on trade and investment, a strong and forward-looking transatlantic partnership remains essential for addressing today’s economic and geopolitical challenges.
Together with a distinguished delegation of German business leaders under the leadership of Dr. Tobias Meyer, CEO of DHL Group and Chairman of the Transatlantic Business Initiative, we engaged in open and substantive discussions with policymakers, business representatives, think tanks, and economic experts across the U.S. capital.
From trade and investment to economic security, AI, critical supply chains, and global competitiveness, our conversations reflected both the complexity of today’s challenges and the tremendous opportunities that emerge when trusted partners work together. Businesses can adapt to changing circumstances, but long-term investment, innovation, and growth depend on predictability, transparency, and reliable frameworks.
