Event Co-Sponsors
Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of global supply chains as well as the disadvantages of relying on limited sources for essential supplies and materials. On May 14, 2:00-3:30pm (ET), join the U.S.-Mexico Foundation and the Wilson Center's Canada and Mexico Institutes for a discussion on the options for avoiding unsafe shortages and making North American supply chains resilient to global shocks.
Trusted and democratic allies, Canada, Mexico, and the United States have the opportunity to rework supply chains within North America to ensure that critical sources of essential supplies and materials are available when needed.
The panelists include policy experts from all three countries who will discuss structures, policies, and rules for a successful partnership. The discussion will also cover the implications for manufacturing, R&D, trade, economic growth, national security, and global leadership.
