Im also the director of the asian orange latin american center. Thank you for joining us in this very timely event. And it is timely because 2 of the 3 members of the president S National Security cabinet are prafl trav traveling to mexico this week, but it is also timely because we are in imminent danger of dismantling the north american experiment we built with mexico and with canada in the past 25 years. It is a mystery to me and i suspect it is a mystery to many of you how we got to this point of profound rekrim nation when in fact mexico and the north american integration experiment of the past 25 years have been a huge Foreign Policy success.
