Resilient Supply Chains for North America

Date & Time

Friday
May. 14, 2021
2:00pm – 3:30pm ET

Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of global supply chains as well as the disadvantages of relying on limited sources for essential supplies and materials. On May 14, 2:00-3:30pm (ET), the U.S.-Mexico Foundation and the Wilson Center's Canada and Mexico Institutes were pleased to host a discussion on the options for avoiding unsafe shortages and making North American supply chains resilient to global shocks.

Trusted and democratic allies, Canada, Mexico, and the United States have the opportunity to rework supply chains within North America to ensure that critical sources of essential supplies and materials are available when needed.

The panelists included policy experts from all three countries who discussed structures, policies, and rules for a successful partnership. The discussion also covered the implications for manufacturing, R&D, trade, economic growth, national security, and global leadership.
