Biden in Canada: What to Expect

Joe Biden will travel to Canada for the first time as the U.S. president March 23 and 24 for meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The two leaders will discuss competitiveness and economic matters, climate and environmental issues, energy, and security cooperation, among others. 

In anticipation of the visit, please join Americas Society/Council of the Americas and the Woodrow Wilson Center for a discussion on what to anticipate, what to look for, and what it all means.
