The State of U.S.-Mexico Relations
Telemundo's Julio Vaqueiro will host a panel that will examine the bilateral relationship in terms of security, trade, migration, and more.
Overview
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 countries, with Canada, will host this summer’s World Cup. But the diplomatic relationship has faced strains, 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.
Telemundo anchor Julio Vaqueiro will moderate the discussion. Vaqueiro and Noticias Telemundo were recognized with a 2025 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Political Journalism in November 2025 for their primetime news special “100 Días de Trump.”
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.
