A World Without NAFTA? A Look at the Future Through the Lens of the Motor Vehicle Industry
President Trump has indicated that if a satisfactory agreement is not met with Canada and Mexico, the U.S. could withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). What would a world without this 24-year-old trade agreement look like? Informed by new data illustrating how a NAFTA withdrawal would impact the automotive industry, we will take a deep dive into some of the challenges including rules of origin, sourcing materials and reshoring jobs, and other aspects of NAFTA that pertain specifically to motor vehicle manufacturing. After a presentation of the new data by the Boston Consulting Group, the panel will include a lively conversation with MEMA, the leading trade association for motor vehicle parts manufacturers, representatives from the motor vehicle industry, and manufacturing executives who can give a real-world perspective on the challenges a world without NAFTA would bring to American businesses.
