Mexico’s President-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, will begin her six-year term in October as the U.S. presidential campaign enters its final stretch. How the next U.S. administration and Congress manage relations with new leadership in Mexico will affect border security, immigration policies, trade and energy relations, and counter-narcotics and anti-crime cooperation. What tools can policymakers in both countries use to advance positive outcomes? What are the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the United States and Mexico?

On August 27, the Brookings Foreign Policy program, in partnership with Brookings Mountain West at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), will host a discussion on the state of U.S.-Mexico relations. Panelists will analyze how the next administration and Congress plan to navigate these issues with Mexico.

This includes equipping leaders with insights and policy ideas to help them govern in 2025 and beyond.
