**Euro-American relations**


██ European Union	██ United States

Euro-American relations are the bilateral relations between the European Union and the United States.

Euro-American relations are primarily concerned with trade policy. The EU is, inter alia, a fully unified trade bloc and this, together with competition policy, are the primary matters of substance currently between the EU (as an organisation) and the USA. The EU also has an embryo common European Union foreign policy which some people, usually those keen on seeing the EU develop into a superstate, would like to see subsume and replace the EU member states individual foreign policies.

Currently the EUs role in foreign policy is limited (except in the aforementioned trade and competition matters) to seeking agreement amongst the individual EU member states foreign policies. The EU member states currently, and look set to continue to have, primacy over their individual foreign policies irrespective of what other EU member states or the EU itself may desire.
