The German Interior Ministry has expressed concerns about the future of the data transfer agreement between the EU and US after the Republican administration of President Donald Trump vowed to review, and possibly repeal, all the decrees signed by his predecessor.
The current agreement, known as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and used by businesses on both side of the Atlantic for data transfers, is based on commitments made by the US administration led by Democrat Joe Biden, which were set out in an executive order. There are now fears that Trump could lift the legal basis for the agreement.
