President Joe Biden met with Mexican President Andres Manuel L6pez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for discussions on trilateral issues of mutual importance. In a Declaration of North America (DNA), the leaders stated their determination to fortify our region's security, prosperity, sustainability and inclusiveness through commitments across six areas regarding inclusivity, the environment, competitiveness, migration, health, and regional security. The White House Fact Sheet of key deliverables for the 2023 NALS highlighted the importance of strengthening North American partnerships, advancing shared priorities, and promoting a common vision on economic competitiveness and security. Building upon previous accomplishments, the leaders presented new initiatives and announcements. The summit did not address ongoing USMCA trade disputes involving energy, dairy, and motor vehicle rules of origin; nor did its final deliverables directly address immediate concerns of some policymakers regarding record levels of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border or escalating fentanyl overdose deaths. Many in Congress have expressed an interest in efforts to strengthen North American ties and create a more coordinated foreign and economic policy toward countries in the Western Hemisphere. The 118th Congress, in its oversight capacity, may take interest in the deliverables that emerged from NALS in major areas of cooperation, including economic competitiveness; supply chains; clean energy and climate crisis; migration; illegal trafficking of arms, drugs, and persons; health security threats; and inclusivity and racial justice. Economic Competitiveness Economic competitiveness has been a key goal of the NALS since the first summit in 2005. The 2023 NALS placed a major focus on strengthening supply chains, which also has been of interest to many in Congress as the United States seeks to compete with, and reduce dependence on, China, especially in the semiconductor industry. Key deliverables include announcing the first-ever trilateral semiconductor forum with senior industry representatives and trilateral cabinet level participation, Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12084 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
