On April 21, the Center for U.S. and Mexican Law and the Mexico Center of Rice University’s Baker Institute co-hosted a Mexico Briefing presentation featuring Professor David Gantz*. Professor Gantz’s talk, “Prospects for U.S. – Mexico Trade: Will the Proposed Free Trade Agreements in the Pacific (TPP) and with Europe (TTIP) Enhance or Undermine the NAFTA Partnership?,” analyzed the trade agreements that the United States, Canada and Mexico are negotiating with Pacific Rim countries, and with trading partners in Europe. If adopted, these agreements will offer opportunities for U.S. and Mexican businesses, but they will also complicate our trade relations under NAFTA.
The program took place at the law offices of Andrews Kurth LLP, which generously sponsored this event.
