Speakers include:

Jennifer Granholm, Jonathan Wilkinson, Brian Lawson, and Vijay Vaitheeswaran will explore the future of U.S.-Canada energy cooperation.

The U.S. and Canada are each other's primary source of imported energy, and the countries are each other's top overall export markets. Robust transboundary infrastructure and deeply intertwined supply chains support the exchange of almost $3 billion worth of goods across the U.S.-Canada border each day. This is a dynamic moment for the U.S.-Canada partnership, and while the road ahead is uncertain, the stakes of this historic and unique relationship could not be higher.
