A largely unreported meeting held at the State Department discussedintegration of the U.S., Mexico and Canada in concert with a movetoward a transatlantic union, linking a North American community withthe European Union.

The meeting was held Monday under the auspices of the Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy, or ACIEP. WND obtained press credentials and attended as an observer. The meeting was held under “Chatham House” rules that prohibit reporters from attributing specific comments to individual participants.

  • Productivity Improvements – to lower production costs and stimulate trade; and
  • Open Borders – to facilitate the free movement of labor to markets where employment opportunities are available.
