A Discussion on North America: Present and Future

Join the discussion: #ThisIstheBorder | @ASCOA @AmerQuarterly

The United States and Mexico are interwoven in ways that are both remarkable and surprising and that challenge the idea of a clear-cut border. The ties that bind Mexico and the United States are explored at length in “Indivisible,” the new issue of Americas Quarterly that looks past the day-to-day political debate to take a 360-degree view of the U.S.-Mexico relationship over the more than two decades since the implementation of NAFTA. 

Council of the Americas and Americas Quarterly will hold a public discussion to look at these timely issues on the state of trade and investment in North America, the nature of supply chains, and how business is conducted today.

Speakers:

• Will Hurd, Congressman (R-TX), Vice Chair, Border and Maritime Security Subcommittee, Committee on Homeland Security, U.S. House of Representatives @HurdOnTheHill
• Chris Padilla, Vice President, Governmental Programs, IBM Corporation; Former Undersecretary for International Trade, U.S. Department of Commerce @ChrisPadilla00
