11th Annual US-Mexico Security Conference
Event Sponsor
Illicit trade between the US and Mexico, whether it be drugs heading northward or arms trafficked southward, claims tens of thousands of lives annually on both sides of the border. Homicide rates in Mexico are at record highs and drug overdoses in the US have increased at an astonishing rate over the past 25 years. To finance this chaos, billions of dollars are laundered between the two countries every year. Coordinating to prevent this type of crime is more than just the obligation of good neighbors: it is critical to the broader economic and security landscape of the region.
Join us for this first panel of our 11th Annual US-Mexico Security Conference where panelists will discuss topics including the diversity of goods passing between the US and Mexico, and strategies to combat and unravel these networks.
Additional speakers to be confirmed.
