April 19, 2023, 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM EDT
Virtual Event
Cecilia Malmström (PIIE) and Gabrielius Landsbergis (Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lithuania)

Event Summary

Lithuania has been one of the European Union’s loudest supporters of Ukraine and retaliatory sanctions against Russia. The country also provoked Chinese ire after opening a de facto Taiwanese embassy in Vilnius, spurring Beijing to suspend Lithuanian exports. New anti-coercion legislation will allow the European Union to retaliate against countries like China and Russia that have adopted punitive trade measures against members. Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis will share his views on how the European Union should approach China, Russia, and the United States.
