Overview

On May 4, the Trade Advisory Group (TAG) convened senior business leaders for a private lunch discussion with Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of the Business Council of Canada during his visit to Washington.

Held at a pivotal moment ahead of the 2026 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Review, the conversation focused on the evolving outlook for North American trade and the role of the private sector in shaping a more integrated, resilient, and competitive region.

The discussions examined preparations for the upcoming USMCA review, the implications of intensifying trilateral engagement, and priority areas for strengthening regional coordination. The session provided a platform for a candid exchange on key policy and business dynamics, helping to inform TAG priorities and identify opportunities for strategic private sector engagement in advancing North American competitiveness.
