Bavaria and the USA – Shaping a Transatlantic Future Together

Following Donald Trump's re-election as US President, experts expect noticeably negative consequences for the European economy, but probably also for the US economy. This is not only due to the concrete plans he has announced, but also his erratic and unpredictable governance, which is causing great uncertainty.

In view of the global challenges – geopolitical conflicts, a changing world economic order and climate change – we want and must continue to work closely and trustingly with the United States.

Core demands of Bavarian business for transatlantic cooperation

• Ensuring economic security transatlantically: In order to meet global challenges, the value partners on both sides of the Atlantic must work closely together. The Bavarian economy must not become a bargaining chip in the conflict between China and the USA.
• Preserve the balance of power and strengthen free trade: Economic integration between the United States and the EU must be institutionalized, trade disputes must be eliminated and the WTO must finally be reformed .
• Identifying paths for cooperation on climate protection and the energy transition: A level playing field is needed to combat climate change effectively.
• Enhance and expand technology partnerships: The EU-US Technology and Trade Council (TTC) must be maintained and initiated cooperation and coordination must be continued and deepened.
• Maintain regional partnerships: The Bavarian state government can help create favorable investment and cooperation conditions and open up markets through close relationships with strategically important US states.
