The Expert Group on the United States, made up of members of think tanks, universities, the Federal Foreign Office, the German Bundestag, and the business community, is dedicated to the question of what structural and longer-term developments are shaping domestic and foreign policy in the USA. What does this mean for the transatlantic relationship, and thus for German and European policies?
