As the United States and Mexico engage in ongoing negotiations around trade and migration, Cogent’s Senior Vice President, Shellie Purvis, joined the Meridian Group for a week-long study on US-Mexico relations. Meridian, in partnership with the U.S.-Mexico Foundation, took 20 American policy influencers to Mexico City for the U.S.–Mexico 360 Public Diplomacy initiative. This tour gave delegates a 360-degree view of U.S.–Mexico relations along with a glimpse into Mexican culture. Discussions revolved around Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s approach to both domestic and international affairs, with a particular focus on the new administration’s policies on tariffs, migration, energy and corruption.
