You are invited to join the World Affairs Council of Miami on Tuesday, May 6th from 11am - 1pm, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on U.S.-Mexico relations and the Second Trump Administration with His Excellency Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, Ambassador of Mexico to the United States.
This program is part of our Mark Samuelian Distinguished Speaker Series, hosted at Miami Dade College in partnership with Miami Dade College
 - Wolfson Campus and Miami Dade College Honors College.
The United States and Mexico are bound by shared geography, economics, history, and demographics. Now, as the second Trump administration develops its economic and national security strategies, the two neighbors' ties have entered a new era of challenges and opportunities. From trade and immigration to security and economic integration under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, many of the president's leading priorities are uniquely connected to the U.S.-Mexico relationship.
This program will serve to provide our community with the rare opportunity to learn directly from Mexico's top diplomat in Washington about our two nations' shared history and aspirations for a common future. We hope you'll join us in warmly welcoming Ambassador Moctezuma on his upcoming visit to Miami, Florida.
