Robert Zoellick on Why North America Must Stay United
In a recent Financial Times opinion piece, WWSG speaker Robert Zoellick examines the growing strain between the United States and Canada, arguing that President Donald Trump’s threats toward America’s northern neighbor risk undermining a relationship that has strengthened both countries for generations. Zoellick points to disputes over tariffs, manufacturing, energy, trade, and Canadian sovereignty, contending that efforts to weaken economic integration could ultimately hurt U.S. interests as well as Canada’s.
Drawing on decades of North American economic cooperation, Zoellick makes the case that closer ties among the United States, Canada, and Mexico have created stronger supply chains, greater energy security, manufacturing efficiencies, and a larger market capable of competing globally. He traces that integration from the Reagan administration through NAFTA and the USMCA, arguing that a unified North America provides the United States with an important economic and strategic advantage. Rather than alienating close allies, Zoellick argues that the United States benefits when it treats its partners with respect and preserves the relationships that have long supported North American prosperity and security.
With extensive experience at the highest levels of global economics, trade, and diplomacy, Robert Zoellick brings audiences an informed perspective on the intersection of geopolitics, markets, and international relations. His firsthand experience shaping U.S. trade policy and leading the World Bank allows him to connect today’s global challenges with decades of economic and diplomatic history.
