Fox Keynotes 6th Annual US-Mexico Trade Summit in Eagle Pass — Nearshoring and Border Commerce

| Fox (2000–2006)

Former President Vicente Fox delivers the keynote address at the 6th Annual Commercial Summit in Eagle Pass, Texas, addressing more than 500 trade stakeholders at the International Center for Trade. Fox speaks on opportunities, challenges, and perspectives of international commerce in the region, emphasizing nearshoring growth, cross-border infrastructure investment, and the resilience of sustained US-Mexico trade ties. Eagle Pass — handling $3.77 billion in trade per month — is the 10th-largest US border crossing by trade volume. Fox is the second former Mexican president to keynote the summit after Felipe Calderón; his wife Marta Sahagún accompanies him. The summit also addresses driver capacity constraints, cargo theft in Mexico, and autonomous vehicle technology at the border. Fox's participation underscores his continued role as a champion of NAFTA-era economic integration, a central legacy of his 2000–2006 presidency.
