The United States and Europe must work constructively to finalise the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership not only to boost jobs and growth. There are critical geostrategic reasons to get this deal done, and every day I am reminded of the global context of why we are negotiating TTIP, said US Ambassador to the EU, Anthony Gardner in an exclusive interview with EurActiv.
Anthony L. Gardner was sworn in as the US Ambassador to the European Union on February 18, 2014. Prior to assuming his current position, for six years, Ambassador Gardner was Managing Director at Palamon Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in London. The American diplomat has dedicated more than twenty years of his career to US-European affairs, as a government official, lawyer and investor. He served as Director for European Affairs on the National Security Council in 1994-95. During that period, he worked closely with the US Mission to the European Union to launch the New Transatlantic Agenda.

Borrowing means ability to pay back.
Trojan horse!
The new world order is upon us.
