European Union–United States relations

Relations between the European Union and the United States began in 1953, when US diplomats visited the European Coal and Steel Community (the EU precursor, created in 1951) in addition to the national governments of its six founding countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany).[1] The two parties share a good relationship which is strengthened by NATO (a military alliance), cooperation on trade, and shared values.[2]
