We extend our sincere congratulations on your
election as the 45th President of the United States of America.
The strategic
partnership between the European Union and the United States is rooted in our
shared values of freedom, human rights, democracy and a belief in the market
economy. Over the years, the European Union and the United States have worked
together to ensure peace and prosperity for our citizens and for people around
the world.
Today, it is more
important than ever to strengthen transatlantic relations. Only by
cooperating closely can the EU and the US continue to make a difference when
dealing with unprecedented challenges such as Da'esh, the threats to Ukraine's
sovereignty and territorial integrity, climate change and migration.
Fortunately, the EU - US
strategic partnership is broad and deep: from our joint efforts to
enhance energy security and address climate change, through EU - US
collaboration on facing threats to security in Europe's Eastern and Southern
neighbourhoods, and to the negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership - we should spare no effort to ensure that the ties that
bind us remain strong and durable.
We should consolidate
the bridges we have been building across the Atlantic. Europeans trust that
America, whose democratic ideals have always been a beacon of hope around the
globe, will continue to invest in its partnerships with friends and allies, to
help make our citizens and the people of the world more secure and more
prosperous.
We would take this
opportunity to invite you to visit Europe for an EU - US Summit at your earliest
convenience. This conversation would allow for us to chart the course of our
relations for the next four years.
