The automotive industry in North America operates as a highly integrated, cross-border network, reflecting decades of collaboration under trade agreements like the Auto Pact and, more recently, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. This vertical integration enables the seamless movement of raw materials and finished products between the three countries. This supply chain interdependence allows both countries to optimize production efficiency, reduce costs, and compete in the global automotive market.
Please join the CSIS Critical Minerals Security Program for a conversation on the bilateral US-Canada mineral relationship and its role in driving a competitive US auto industry. Emily Olson, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of Vale Base Metals, and Jasper Jung, Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives for Global Public Policy at General Motors, will join Gracelin Baskaran, Director of the CSIS Critical Minerals Security Program, to discuss this and more.
This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Critical Minerals Security Program.
