This week on EMBARGOED!, host Tim O'Toole is joined by Dr. Tobias Ackermann (BLOMSTEIN) and Caroline Watson (Miller & Chevalier) to discuss the growing divergence between the U.S. and EU on key trade issues including economic sanctions on Russia, reciprocal tariffs, and export controls.

Roadmap:

• Increasing disparity between U.S. and EU regulations and policies, regarding Russia
  • EU's release of 16th Sanctions Package on Russia in early March
  • Changes in approach to Russia from the Biden administration to the Trump administration, including in collaboration with the EU and dialogue with Russia
• U.S.-EU trade war: new U.S. tariffs on the EU and EU countermeasures
• The "bazooka" – the EU's 2023 anti-coercion instrument and whether it could be used in response to U.S. tariffs
• Export controls and how the U.S. is reportedly pulling away from collaboration with the EU on the development of further controls
