I Need a Hero: Enhancing Security and Trade in North America

Breakout Session

Hosted by CSIS

This panel aims to underscore the vital role of trilateral cooperation between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada in addressing complex security challenges and facilitating legitimate commerce in their border regions. These areas are crucial for North American security, trade, and economic integration. Effective collaboration among the three nations is essential, as regional security directly impacts the continent's overall prosperity and stability. By working together, the countries can better tackle transnational criminal organizations, streamline cross-border trade, and leverage innovative technologies to enhance supply chains and fortify economic resilience across North America.
