The relationship between the United States and Mexico is under stress. Commercial ties remain strong in many ways, with Mexico recently passing China to becoming the biggest exporter to the United States. The two North American countries, with Canada, will host the FIFA World Cup in June and July. But the diplomatic relationship has faced strain, amid debate over organized crime and the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal. 

What can we expect from one of the world’s most important relationships in 2026? Join Americas Society for this insightful exploration of bilateral ties, moderated by Noticias Telemundo anchor Julio Vaqueiro. 

Following the public panel, there will be a reception with the speakers for COA, YPA, and Americas Society members. Members also receive early registration and preferential seating. Not a member? Join today.
