Wilson’s North American institutes – the Canada Institute and the Mexico Institute – provide context and insights into U.S. bilateral relationships with these countries, and work together to sponsor analysis and programs that address the entire North American region on topics such as border cooperation, shared energy and environmental challenges, the implementation of the USMCA, and North American competitiveness.

U.S.-Mexico relations are deeply intertwined. Key issues of mutual importance are both international and domestic. These “inter-mestic” issues impact the lives of tens of millions of people on both sides of the border. Americans and Mexicans thus have big stakes in assuring that The United States and Mexico working can tackle shared problems and find good solutions to the vital issues that tie them together, including trade, jobs, crime, border, security, migration, tourism, education exchanges, a shared environment and much more.
