The transatlantic relationship witnessed a significant injection of renewed enthusiasm and policy activity following Joe Biden's inauguration as President of the United States in January 2021. Despite recent transatlantic misalignments in political developments, the geopolitical dimensions of technology, and vulnerabilities stemming from interdependence, continue to head the political agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. There is fertile ground to deepen transatlantic cooperation in countering disinformation and tackling corruption by defining joint standards and coordinating on independent fact-checking and countering money-laundering. First-line practitioners on both sides could systematically share expertise on preventing, detecting and combating violent extremism, while funding could be targeted at joint transatlantic research projects to provide the evidence needed for sound policy-making.
