Transatlantic partners are closely tracking the Russian Federation’s (“Russia”) military build-up at Ukraine’s border, continuing to issue warnings against a possible incursion. Officials from the United States (US, or USA) briefed the media on the situation on Thursday, just ahead of the US Christmas holiday break. The US Government also released its annual report on Russia’s WTO obligations; the United Kingdom (UK) and several European countries condemned the deployment of Russia-based Wagner Group’s mercenaries to Mali, viewing the move as destablising to the African country.
The European Union (EU) focused this week on guidelines related to state aid that seek to align with principles and net neutrality goals laid out in the European Green Deal. The European Commission also unveiled its taxation legislative package that incorporates the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Pillar Two’s minimum corporate tax rate, among other things. Meanwhile, Omicron COVID-19 cases are increasing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, with transatlantic partners moving forward with approving antivirals that seek to minimize hospitalizations and severe side effects from the coronavirus variant.

Russia’s military build-up at Ukraine’s border continues to dominate the attention of transatlantic partners, with officials from the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), and the European Union (EU) continuing to warn Russia to de-escalate the situation. In America, the US Congress wrapped up its legislative work for 2021, with Democrats not quite getting their social and climate change spending package to the finish line ahead of the congressional break. However, the US Congress did approve a bill that focuses on alleged forced labor concerns related to the People’s Republic of China (“China”).
Separately, in the EU, there is some increased pressure to act on a stalled proposal to address concerns with forced labor in the manufacturing of goods overseas. Meanwhile, transatlantic partners are separately seeking to define their 2022 priorities, with synergy – albeit separately – seen around digital trade and the Indo-Pacific region. With temperatures cooling around the world, transatlantic partners are also focused on addressing increased cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.

On December 14, 2021, lawmakers in the House and Senate announced that they had reached an agreement on compromise language for a bill known as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act or “UFLPA.” Different versions of this measure passed the House and the Senate earlier this year, but lawmakers and Congressional staff have been working to reconcile the parallel proposals. The compromise language paves the way for Congress to pass the bill and send it to President Biden’s desk as soon as this week.
