ABOUT THE   Regions

The transatlantic relationship would not be a relationship without the strong and active participation from the United States and Canada. On issues ranging from security and defense to immigration and economics, the United States and Canada play a large role in working with European partners on finding common transatlantic solutions to global challenges. GMF is headquartered in Washington, DC, and works across the United States with programs including the Comparative Domestic Policy Program and the Marshall Memorial Fellowship. In Canada, GMF involves the Canadian government, private sector, foundations, and media in a variety of activities.
