Abstract

In 2024, Mexico and Canada commemorated eighty years of official relations, characterized by a focus on investment and trade, within a framework of public diplomacy shaped initially by the interests of Great Britain and later by the interdependence imposed by U.S. hegemony. The strategic nature of the relationship has been fundamentally economic. The current context—marked by an imminent trade war and a reorganization of the geopolitical order driven by Donald Trump’s vision during his second administration—raises a series of questions for the future of the bilateral relationship.
