On October 1, 2024 Mexico will inaugurate its next president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who will be the first woman to lead the country in its history. This moment of transition comes at a pivotal moment in the US-Mexico relationship, as trade between the two countries is at an all time high, and both face highly polarized political environments at home.

To help break down what a Sheinbaum administration will mean for bilateral relations, the Mexico Institute organized a roundtable discussion with former US and Mexican Ambassadors. This conversation explored how Claudia Sheinbaum’s proposed strategies on security, trade, migration, and Mexico’s political climate, will impact the US-Mexico relationship.
