March 28, 2025 | The Mayflower Hotel| Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. – The U.S Conference of Mayors (USCM) will host a summit on North American trade alongside mayors from Canada and Mexico in Washington, D.C. on Friday, March 28, 2025. Led by USCM President Columbus (OH) Mayor Andrew Ginther, the event will bring together bipartisan mayors from across the country, as well as mayors from cities in Canada and Mexico. The mayors will focus on the critical role that North American trade plays in the success of metropolitan economies across the continent, and the devastating effects tariffs pose for families, manufacturing, local job markets, and global economic competition. The summit will culminate with the release of a joint statement from the mayors of all three countries on the economic impact of a trade war in North American trade.

The meeting will be closed to the press; however, a post-summit press conference will be held at The Mayflower Hotel on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 12:15 pm EDT. Current press credentials will be required. Please RSVP here. For more information, please contact Sara Durr, USCM’s Director of Communications, at [email protected].
