Braže: Closer EU-US cooperation strengthens transatlantic security

Latvia's Foreign Minister Baiba Braže (New Unity) met on Friday with Andrew Puzder, the United States Ambassador to the European Union. During the meeting, the minister emphasized that deeper economic and technological cooperation between the EU and the US contributes to strengthening security across the Atlantic.

Linking economy and security

Braže pointed out that economic and technological partnership between the EU and the US cannot be separated from security matters, as the two areas reinforce one another. This reflects Latvia's position that transatlantic cooperation is a broader concept encompassing not only military and defense ties but also economic and technological links.

The meeting took place against the backdrop of ongoing discussions on EU-US relations at various levels, including diplomatic exchanges between member state representatives and the US mission to the EU. Andrew Puzder currently serves as the US Ambassador to the European Union.
