The Transatlantic Economy 2023 explains international support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, major shifts in the transatlantic energy economy, how digital connections drive economic ties, and why transatlantic commercial bonds matter for producers, consumers, workers, innovators, investors, and communities.
