A bet was made twenty-three years ago that North America’s economic prosperity hinged on integrated markets. That opened the door for decades of cooperation with Mexico far beyond trade and investment: from intelligence sharing to extraditions to immigration. The US-Canada relationship also continued to deepen. 

But in his first few weeks in office, President Trump has begun to make good on a campaign promise to be tough on Mexico. Now, with US-Mexico relations at a historic low, what is the pathway to finding common ground? 

Join us for a timely lunchtime discussion on the economic and strategic imperative of getting North American commercial ties right. How is NAFTA likely to be modernized? Is there an opening for focusing on policy over politics?
