Agriculture is at the nexus of two of the most significant policy platforms for the Trump administration, namely, trade and migration. Ultimately, how this administration chooses to implement immigration, labor, and trade policy, and importantly, and how it will approach USMCA review, is still to be determined. Much will depend on the cooperation of the Mexican government on border security and tackling organized crime.

To ensure that this relationship remains productive and mutually beneficial, the Wilson Center’s Mexico Institutes will host a summit in Washington DC and online on February 12th to celebrate the publication of policy recommendations on agricultural trade, temporary worker visas, and labor law compliance.

This public event will bring together government and private sector stakeholders, as well as labor, migration, and trade experts to exchange perspectives on the outlook for regional cooperation and policy actions to advance North American food security, competitiveness, and leadership.
