With the first-ever joint review of the USMCA just weeks away, what's at stake for the nearly $2 trillion in annual commerce flowing between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada?
At the 2026 North America Summit in Washington, D.C., host Jill Homan (AFPI) leads a candid, high-level panel examining what a successful renegotiation actually looks like — and what each country needs to walk away with.
Panelists include:
Sergio Gomez-Lora – Director Ejecutivo, CCE Washington Office (veteran of both the NAFTA and USMCA negotiations)
Pedro Casas Alatriste – Executive Director, AmCham Mexico
Chad Wolf – Former Acting U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security
Larry Rubin – President, American Society of Mexico
The conversation covers the full picture: how trade volume has grown 37% since USMCA took effect, why not all trade deficits are created equal, the co-production relationship between the U.S. and Mexican manufacturing sectors, the growing pressure on Mexico around cartel cooperation and fentanyl trafficking, and why the Trump administration is approaching this review with economic policy, industrial strategy, and border security all on the same table.
A must-watch for anyone following North American trade, supply chain strategy, or U.S.-Mexico relations heading into a pivotal summer.
