Abstract

The General Assembly of the United Nations approved the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDG try to be ambitious goals that affect the causes of global poverty. The SDG expects to build societies more equalitarian and productive in 2030. On the other hand, United States and European Union are negotiating an agreement for Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in order to create the biggest economic and trade relations worldwide. The goal of this paper is to analyze if the TTIP will contribute achieve satisfactorily the SDG and if United States and the European Union are considering the new development agenda in the negotiations of this treaty.
