ONLINE EVENT: 100 Days of the Biden-Harris Administration – What Lies Ahead for US-Mexico Ties?

RSVP Now

The election of President Biden and the Covid-19 crisis has created an opportunity to rethink and redesign the relationship between Mexico and the United States. With this objective, the US-Mexico Forum 2025, a group of Mexican and US scholars, practitioners, and experts, have proposed a course for the bilateral relationship in five strategic areas: migration; security and public health; trade, economy and work; energy and sustainable development; and strategic diplomacy.

Join us for a webinar, co-hosted by the Inter-American Dialogue, the Center for US-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and the Atlantic Council, that will focus on three of the five key issues discussed by the US-Mexico Forum 2025: energy and sustainability, security and public health, and humanitarian border issues.

We invite participants to submit questions through the Q&A function in Zoom.
