MISSION STATEMENT
The US played a crucial role in liberating Europe from the Nazi regime in 1945 - this laid the foundation for a strong alliance between European countries and the US. The economic, social and military ties between European countries and the US were strengthened by several multilateral projects, programs and organizations which were established after World War II - some of them still exist and play a crucial role in world politics to this day. The main objective of this extraordinary relation was to establish a strong cooperation which resulted in building international security and defence, strengthening international trade and economic development, and supporting democratic values. Europe and the US understood that for reaching those common goals multilateral cooperation is the most suitable approach – the European Union still strives to maintain this approach to this day. Unfortunately, the last four years of Trump administration proved the suspicion that there seems to be a significant drift away from this approach by the US side. The withdrawal of US troops from Germany, the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, the suspension of the INF Treaty and the threat of sanctions in the context of Nord Stream II on EU governments - these recent developments mark a new low point in transatlantic relations between the EU and the US. This brings up the question how a potential Biden Administration would influence the weakened Transatlantic Relations?
The IIP strives to address these issues via policy papers, conferences, workshops, public events, book publications, and the exchange of ideas in order to contribute to the strengthening of Transatlantic Relations.
