1.2. (...) We remain committed to upholding a fair and open global trading system – one that follows through on our partners' longstanding commitment to conduct economic relations with a view to raising standards of living, ensuring full employment, and promoting sustainable development.

3.6. Combating the climate crisis and promoting sustainable environmental practices are top priorities for the United States. In this regard, the United States considers trade an indispensable tool in addressing the climate crisis.

3.7. The traditional approach to climate and environmental issues within trade has primarily focused on advancing levels of environmental protection for our trading partners. The United States will continue this work to strengthen and expand those commitments, but we also recognize that this singular approach will not fully achieve our climate goals. To this end, the United States is pursuing a new generation of trade policies that will more affirmatively promote the decarbonization necessary to limit global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

3.8. Launched during the U.S.-EU Summit in June 2021 to deepen transatlantic trade and economic relations, the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) held its inaugural meeting in September 2021.

Under the U.S. EU TTC Climate and Clean Tech and Global Trade Challenges working groups, the United States will work with the EU to collaboratively advance trans-Atlantic priorities to address climate and environmental issues.
