Global Business Briefing with Her Excellency Kirsten Hillman, Ambassador of Canada to the U.S.

Event Details

Wednesday, January 8, 2025

The United States and Canada share a commitment to promoting security, prosperity, and democratic governance in and across the Western Hemisphere. As both neighbors and trading partners, the U.S.-Canada relationship will experience a new set of changes as President-Elect Trump assumes the presidency in 2025.

President Trumps’ promise to impose tariffs of 25 percent on all imports from Canada and Mexico will certainly serve as a big inflection point, especially with USMCA up for reauthorization in 2025. Ambassador Hillman will join us at Meridian to provide her perspective on the state of the bilateral economic relationship. 

This event is only open to members of the Meridian Corporate Council. If you have any questions about this program, please reach out to Rodrigo Moreschi at corporate@meridian.org
