Washington, D.C. and Brussels in October 2025          The US and the EU have worked together to improve commerce and safety in many areas.         This is the beginning of a new era of working together across the Atlantic as tensions increase and the economy shifts throughout the world.          Leaders from both sides met in Brussels to talk on ways to safeguard major businesses, work together better on defence, and make technology and the digital world more competitive.

         The purchases put to rest anxieties about the safety of the supply chain, new technologies, cybersecurity, and long-term investments.         They also say they will obey the rules of trade and democracy.

         The US Secretary of State remarked, "This partnership shows how much we both care about safety, economic growth, and a world order based on rules."          "We can work together to solve the problems that come up when things aren't stable and there is competition."
