About the Event

From Vermont dairy farms to advanced manufacturing corridors along the Canadian border, Vermont sits at the intersection of America's most consequential trade relationships. As tariffs reshape supply chains, immigration policy disrupts agricultural labor, and energy interdependence complicates diplomacy, the stakes of U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico relations are no longer abstract; they're visible in Vermont fields and factory floors.

This session brings together voices from agriculture, advanced manufacturing, and foreign policy to examine how a fracturing North American partnership affects the people and industries closest to the border.
