North America’s Economic Future Amidst 2024 Elections

2024 is a significant year for the trilateral relationship between #theUS, #Mexico, and #Canada. It marks the 30th anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (#NAFTA), which laid the foundation for the 2020 #USMCA deal. This is also an #election year in both the U.S. and Mexico, the results of which will play a crucial role in shaping the future of these relations. Whichever administration wins the 2024 election will review the USMCA in 2026 and shape the region’s trajectory in various areas. With the current #geopoliticalclimate pushing the U.S. to re-evaluate its #nearshoring strategy to enhance #security and #economic ties with its #NorthAmerican neighbors, what is the current state of #economicrelations between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada? What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for this trilateral relationship in light of the 2024 elections? And what future does the USMCA hold?
Join us for a conversation between Mr. Goldy Hyder, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Business Council of Canada; Dr. Joshua Meltzer, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution; and Professor Pamela Starr, Professor of the practice in the Department of Political Science and International Relations and in the Public Diplomacy program at the University of Southern California, where they will discuss these questions and more.
