As I mentioned in last week’s column, President Biden’s first foreign trip since he took office featured four summit meetings: the G7 Summit, the NATO Summit, the U.S.-EU Summit, and a summit meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Each meeting made news—for international trade professionals, the EU Summit made the most news.
