This past week, the Government of the United Kingdom (UK) started outlining its agenda for 2022, with a focus on digital trade, among other priorities, in the broader framework of establishing a “network of liberty.” The latter point overlaps with the Government of the United States of America (US, or USA), which hosted a virtual “Summit for Democracy,” calling on nations to reject authoritarianism and the use of technology to repress citizens. As part of the Summit for Democracy, the US Government unveiled its strategy for combatting corruption.
A UK delegation visited Washington this past week to push for addressing US aluminum and steel tariffs, along with discussing the need for a cross-border data arrangement. The UK also hosted the Group of Seven (G7) Foreign Ministerial in Liverpool this week, which had a focus on digital trade that resulted in some Asia-Pacific leaders being invited to the meeting for the first time. With the USA, UK and European Union (EU) focused on digital trade, notably, the UK secured an agreement in principle with Singapore in this space, while the EU is moving forward with discussion to expand its digital ties with Singapore.
Meanwhile, the USA, UK and EU also focused this week on Russia’s perceived aggression along Ukraine’s border, collectively warning Russia’s president against the militarization. Separately, the European Commission released its legislative proposal to protect against third country economic coercion. Transatlantic partners also remain focused on restricting the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant, as cases increase around the world.

The past two weeks saw the emergence of a new coronavirus variant – designated “Omicron” – that was first noted by officials in South Africa, who quickly reported it globally. While countries around the world – including the United States of America (US or USA) – restricted travel to and from nations in southern Africa, the actions are largely intended to try and control the spread of Omicron, amid continued Delta variant surges. Despite the travel restrictions, the Omicron variant, however, has been detected already in a half-dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Israel, the USA and other countries. Scientists speculate Omicron could become the dominant variant in the coming months.
Meanwhile, the USA and European Union (EU) found common ground this past week, as the two sides met to discuss trade, the Indo-Pacific, and other matters. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled to Latvia and Sweden this week, attending the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Foreign Ministerial and meeting with European officials. A major theme to emerge from his meetings in Europe was increased US concern with Russia’s military build-up along Ukraine’s border. Secretary Blinken also met with his Russian counterpart – as did UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss separately – on the margins of other events in Sweden. Transatlantic partners also focused this week on Belarus, imposing a coordinated fifth tranche of sanctions against the Lukashenko regime. Looking ahead, the US Government will host its first-ever Summit for Democracy on 9-10 December.
