The world’s leading economies are putting economic security at the top of their policy concerns. Among them, the European Union is taking a risk-based approach that seeks to deter weaponizable dependencies while still pursuing efficiency in its trade, regulatory, industrial, and technology policies. How do economic security considerations affect the global economy and the transatlantic economic partnership? In this episode of The Zeitgeist, European Commission Deputy Director-General for Trade and Economic Security Denis Redonnet discusses how the EU leverages its leadership and partnerships to ensure a resilient European economy.
