The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership—TTIP—negotiations between the United States and the European Union could be transformative for the U.S. and European economies, and for their position in the world. But how may TTIP affect consumers, energy, the environment and other areas? And what does TTIP mean for other countries? Join us for a discussion with key stakeholders, negotiators and legislators.
