Special Report: Securing North America’s Future

READ THE REPORT

As geopolitical uncertainty grows and the 2026 USMCA review approaches, the future of North American integration hangs in the balance. Regional cooperation on energy, food security, trade, labor mobility, and digital resilience is no longer optional—it is imperative. At this critical inflection point, North America must act decisively to secure its collective future.

“Securing North America’s Future” distills the most urgent insights from the 2025 North Capital Meridian Diplomacy Forum, an invitation-only gathering of senior government officials, private sector leaders, and civil society experts from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Co-hosted by Meridian International Center and the U.S.-Mexico Foundation, the Forum provided a platform for forward-looking trilateral dialogue grounded in policy, strategy, and shared values.

This report offers a roadmap for policymakers and practitioners committed to strengthening regional trust, advancing economic resilience, and leveraging North America’s competitive advantages in an increasingly multipolar world. As global power centers realign and new threats emerge, North America’s ability to lead will depend on the decisions made today.
