What:
With the transition to the Trump administration, the relationship between the United States and Mexico is shifting. Particularly in the wake of the news of President Trump’s intention to reopen NAFTA negotiations, the trade relationship is being reexamined. His desire to erect a physical barrier along the border raises important questions about security, and implications for immigration policies. These developments all have the potential to impact both countries’ economies as well as their political and social fabrics.
On May 25, the new Mexico Initiative at Brookings will convene panels of politicians, diplomats, and policy experts to engage in a half-day discussion that will examine the economic, security, and border challenges facing the U.S.-Mexico relationship and the implications for relations moving forward. After initial presentations, panelists will take questions from the audience.
This event will be webcast. Please join the conversation on Twitter at #USMexico.
