As North America navigates the upcoming USMCA review, regional security initiatives, and economic realignment, legislative bodies in Washington D.C., Mexico City, and Ottawa are playing an increasingly consequential role in shaping the region's trajectory. Federal legislators' domestic policymaking and international diplomacy on trade enforcement, energy policy, migration, and investment directly influence the stability and direction of regional integration.

This discussion explored how legislators interpret regional challenges from their capitols and opportunities for those conversations to transition into cross-border coordination. Participants will assess how federal-level engagement, parliamentary diplomacy, and lawmaker-to-lawmaker dialogue can strengthen trust, improve policy alignment, and reinforce a more cohesive North American partnership.
