Atlantic Ocean . Sometimes specifically those between the
United States ,
Canada and the countries in
Europe , although other meanings are possible. There are a number of issues over which the United States and Europe generally disagree. Some of these are cultural, such as the U.S. use of the
death penalty , some are international issues such as the
Middle East peace process where the United States is often seen as pro-Israel and where Europe is often seen as pro-Arab (
Arab–Israeli conflict ), and many others are trade related. The current U.S. policies are often described as being
unilateral in nature, whereas the
European Union and Canada are often said to take a more

Culture of Europe ,
Economy of the European Union ,
