The leaders of Canada, the United States, and Mexico met in Washington this week for the first time since 2016 with the intent to strengthen co-operation on the economy, security, health, and migration.
Going into the one-day summit on Nov. 18, concerns about protectionist policies in the United States and Mexico had been raised by different stakeholders. One such concern—the Biden administration’s controversial $12,500 tax credit for American-made electric vehicles—came up a few hours before the summit during the customary fireside photo op in the Oval Office.
