We are living through a geopolitical whirlwind which is causing a real sense of fragility. The danger is that instability is becoming a permanent phenomenon. Certainly, americans and europeans share a stake in the unpredictable direction of the war in ukraine; the growing competition with china; the regulatory imperative of the digital economy and the colossal threat posed by climate change. Mostly, it is the us relationship with the eu that will be pivotal for tackling these issues, not through nato. These mounting geopolitical and transnational challenges can only effectively be met with a fireproofing of the eu us relationship. The tpn compass project sets out a simple way to establish a strengthened partnership framework by 2024. These ideas are part of the tpn's overall vision of towards Transatlantic partnership 2030.but the window of opportunity for the eu and the us to work together on these issues will narrow by 2024, with the us presidential and congressional elections coinciding with the end of the terms of both the european commission and the european parliament next year.transatlantic week 2023 had a real sense of urgency as it sought to put forward ideas how to create a more effective eu us relationship, with an eu us summit expected in the autumn.key milestone agreement on next steps establishing a staffer Network: - throughout 2023, before and after Transatlantic week, tpn engaged on the establishment of a staffer Network linking staffers in the us congress with their peers in the us congress with a number of Transatlantic online meetings the closing stages of Transatlantic week were used to draw together ideas and to examine initiatives to enable a predominantly younger generation of future political actors engaged as staffers to be better in touch on issues of mutual concern through for example the launching a tpn staffer Network.
