Transatlantic Trends is an annual survey measuring public opinion in the United States, Turkey, Russia, and ten European Union member states: France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The survey explores how Europeans and Americans view the transatlantic relationship and different challenges facing the world. Sweden takes part in the survey for the fourth time this year.

Of particular interest in this year's report are the European and U.S. responses to the crisis in Ukraine. Other issues examined are the state of the transatlantic relationship after the NSA scandal, the future of European integration, Russian foreign policy preferences and NATO's future, as well as topics that cross the domestic-foreign policy divide, like the state of the economy and immigration.

What actions are Europeans prepared to take to address the crisis in Ukraine? Is the EU doing enough to combat the economic crisis? Where do Americans want to work with Europe, and where do they want to work independently?

Presentation by: Dr. Constanze Stelzenmueller, Senior Transatlantic Fellow, German Marshall Fund.

Remarks by:
