Untangling the Future of NAFTA

RSVP Now

Event Summary This event has passed.

Along with substantial political uncertainty about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), there is also widespread confusion about the various options and scenarios for reform within the complicated architecture of the multilateral trading system. Many of the possible outcomes would have grave implications—not only for the economies of Mexico, the US, and Canada, but also for other major trading partners.

The Dialogue is pleased to present this open discussion on the future of NAFTA and the global impacts of its potential reform or repeal. 

Read Uri Dadush’s new working paper, “NAFTA in Play: How President Trump could reshape trade in North America.”
