Marshall Fund o the United States. Te views expressed here are those o the author and do not necessarily represent the

a gmFTe German Marshall Fund o the United States (GMF) is a non-partisan American public policy and grantmaking institu-

tion dedicated to promoting better understanding and cooperation between North America and Europe on transatlantic

and global issues. GMF does this by supporting individuals and institutions working in the transatlantic sphere, by conven-

ing leaders and members o the policy and business communities, by contributing research and analysis on transatlan-

tic topics, and by providing exchange opportunities to oster renewed commitment to the transatlantic relationship. In

addition, GMF supports a number o initiatives to strengthen democracies. Founded in 1972 through a gi rom Germany

as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides o the Atlantic. In ad-

dition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has six ofces in Europe: Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Belgrade, Ankara, and

Bucharest. GMF also has smaller representations in Bratislava, urin, and Stockholm.

Tis paper would not have been possible without unding rom the ransatlantic Climate Bridge, an initiative o the German

Ministry or Foreign Aairs to connect and support those working to address the challenges o climate change, energy

security, and economic growth at the local, the state, and the ederal level in the United States and Germany.
