EU weighs new dawn for trans-Atlantic ties under Biden

BRUSSELS — European Union foreign ministers were debating Monday ways to work together more closely with the United States on global diplomacy, with the bloc hopeful that the arrival of President-elect Joe Biden will breathe new life into trans-Atlantic relations.

“With Joe Biden’s election as the new American president, there are a lot of major opportunities that we as Europe want to take,” said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, whose country holds the EU’s rotating presidency until the end of the month.

“Not everything will be different, but a lot will be better, and we must be clear what part of our responsibility we will take, and where we will co-operate with the United States — be it in our direct or indirect neighbourhood, in the western Balkans, in eastern Europe, but also in Africa,” Maas said.

Trans-Atlantic ties have eroded over the last four years under President Donald Trump. He has slapped tariffs on European exports and pulled the United States out of a number of security agreements that they hold dear, notably the Iran nuclear deal.

Trump also abandoned the Paris climate change agreement, and has spurned the multilateral approach that is part of the EU’s DNA when it comes to bodies like the World Health Organization. As ties have unraveled, Russia and China have become more assertive.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who is chairing the meeting, said the aim is to establish “a new, refreshed start of our engagement with the U.S.” The bloc’s leaders will also discuss trans-Atlantic ties this week at a two-day summit starting on Thursday......More
