This event features a discussion between moderator Professor Alfredo Toro Carnevali and guest speaker Gabriel Farfan Mares. They will explore the intricate economic and trade ties between Mexico and the United States, focusing on how integrated supply chains, trade agreements like NAFTA (now USMCA), and complementary industries have fostered a deeply interdependent relationship. The conversation will also address potential consequences of tariffs or restrictive policies, such as increased costs, reduced competitiveness, and adverse effects on economic growth for both nations.<\/p>\n
