Ab 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

viding exchange opportunities to oster renewed commitment to the transatlantic relationship. In addition, GMF supports a
