Trade and Economies

Economic cooperation was one of the bedrock principles of the Marshall Plan. Since that time, global trade has elevated the standard of living for millions around the world. However, the benefits have not been shared equally. Economic inequality and volatility are challenges that must be addressed.

Today, the forces driving the economies of the United States, Europe, and nations around the world are changing faster than ever. Understanding the nuances of trade and economies is essential to building a future of shared prosperity.
