Beyond the Border: The future of US-Mexico relations

Much of President Donald Trump’s populist support comes from people who are deeply worried about globalization and immigration. But Trump’s pro-border wall, anti-NAFTA stance has strained US-Mexico relations. Can the two nations find common ground and work past the rhetoric?
