SUMMARY:Washington\, DC: The Alliance in Question? The Transatlantic Relationship in an Era of Disruption
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The American Council on Germany and the Atlantik-Brücke will host the annual German-American Conference in Washington\, DC.  \nOver the past year\, the strong alliance between the United States and Germany has weakened as both countries have been more inwardly focused. Finding common ground to address common concerns has become more challenging. In an era of disruption\, it makes transatlantic dialogue on a range of issues of mutual concern all the more important. This year’s joint conference will address the challenges facing the German-American partnership with a focus on foreign and security policy\, trade and economic policy\, as well as the socio-political challenges of digital disruption and the dissemination of fake news and alternative facts. \nRegistration has ended for this event.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
