Panel: Resilient Supply Chains for North America - Moderated the Panel

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.

Article: What Now to Avoid Disaster in Afghanistan?

Bitter fighting lies ahead in Afghanistan, with the coming withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces from the country. The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) will go from doing most of the fighting to all of it, as well as all of the dying, which they have already been doing in recent months.

But as U.S. President Joe Biden has said, the United States still has interests worth supporting in the country, and there are actions the coalition must take rapidly to improve the chances ...

Panel Event: Mexico’s midterm elections: The future of the López Obrador presidency and US-Mexico relations

On June 6, Mexico’s citizens will vote in midterm elections to select the Chamber of Deputies of the Mexican Congress and 15 of the country’s 32 governorships. At stake is whether Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his party – the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) – and its satellite parties will retain absolute majority in the Chamber, in addition to their relative majority in the Senate.

Article: What's At Stake in Mexico's June Midterm Elections?

Earl Anthony Wayne, former ambassador to Mexico and cochair of the Mexico Institute Advisory Board at the Woodrow
Wilson Center for International Scholars: “President López
Obrador is pressing for a large victory June 6 that provides a
strong mandate to pursue his ‘fourth transformation’ (4T) of Mexico. He
has become more aggressive in this effort, sharply criticizing individuals
and institutions he views as opposing his plans or limiting his freedom
of action. Mexico’s voters are getting a clear sense of their president’s
strong desire to push ahead with major reforms that will concentrate
more power in the presidency and the state. In early May, AMLO and his
party, Morena, retained the level of public support that produced victory in
2018. However, recent polls suggest a downturn and a greater likelihood
that Morena and its allies could fall short of the two-thirds majority needed
in the Chamber of Deputies to amend the
constitution. This helps account for AMLO’s
harsher criticisms, including of the National
Electoral Institute, and new investigations of
opposition figures. The president has also
taken a more nationalistic tone, including
by criticizing the United States for funding
NGOs that criticized the government.
AMLO remains very popular, but there has
been consistent criticism of government
performance on Covid-19, the economy
and security. Key for the election outcome
will be the vote tallies in swing districts,
where good polling data is lacking. Covid’s
effect on voter turnout remains a wildcard.
If AMLO’s coalition wins a large majority
in Congress and among governors, he will
pursue the 4T vigorously. Even with a more
modest victory, AMLO will likely press hard
to achieve as much of his vision as possible
before the end of his six-year term.”

Article: Successful Workforce Development Is Vital for a Competitive and Prosperous North America

The successful implementation of a North American Workforce Development Agenda depends on joint collaboration and multistakeholder involvement among national and subnational governments, businesses, academia, and other relevant groups, including unions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The three governments should identify and work to scale up successful partnerships and programs already underway across the continent. This collaboration might best start by building on the needs of sector

Afghanistan: Continued Assistance Flows Are Vital as U.S. Troops Leave

President Biden and his team have said the United States will continue to support the Kabul government following his April decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The decision produced a crisis of confidence in Kabul and more widely among the Afghan people. Managing this fast-evolving situation represents a serious test for U.S. diplomacy.

As the NATO mission in Afghanistan ends, the United States and its international partners ...

Article: The US, Canada and Mexico should collaborate on upskilling workers

Though the pandemic brought much hardship to the U.S., Canada and Mexico, it also sparked innovation and adaptation to keep markets and supply chains open and to support workers. However, for the economies of these countries to revive, remain competitive and prosper in the new economy that is emerging around the globe, North America’s trade partners need to collaborate on upskilling workers.

They can build out from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA), which is just kicking into gear
