Chairman Rohrabacher on the hearing: “The vote last year by the British people to exit the European Union and to return sovereignty to their shores reflected the will of the majority. While the negotiations to determine the ultimate relationship between the EU and Great Britain are still underway, the implications for the transatlantic relationship, from trade to security, loom large. This hearing will provide Members with a timely update of the process and will illustrate America’s interest in the outcome.”
