An influential think tank that helped galvanize Washington to back expanded nuclear power is blasting the Trump administration for closing the door to cooperation with Europe.

The new paper doesn’t mince words.
“The overarching conclusion of our research is that Trump Administration policies have blunted every major competitive edge that the U.S. has to carve out a transatlantic nuclear energy market,” the report reads.
