Why the United States Needs a Dedicated Economic Liaison for North America
The economic relationship between the United States, Canada, and Mexico is one of the most significant in the world, accounting for over $1.5 trillion in trade annually. There is no single dedicated U.S. government official responsible for overseeing and optimizing this vital economic partnership.
In a world of trade tensions, evolving capital markets, supply chain disruptions, and the rise of decentralized finance, the U.S. needs a Special Envoy for North American Economic Relations—a high-level liaison to bridge policy, investment, and economic diplomacy.
The Role of the Special Envoy for North American Economic Relations
This new proposed role would serve as a central figure in shaping North American trade, investment, and financial strategies, ensuring that the United States remains at the forefront of economic leadership. The responsibilities of this role would include:
Why I Am the Right candidate for This Role
As a leader in structured finance, capital markets, DeFi, and economic strategy, I have spent my career bridging private capital with government policy. My experience includes:
The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity: Strengthening U.S.-Canada Economic Relations
Canada is America’s largest trading partner with more than $750 billion in trade annually. However, challenges such as tariff dispute investment restrictions, and financial fragmentation hinder economic expansion. The Special Envoy role would proactively drive investment and trade policies that strengthen U.S. financial leadership in North America.

Likewise, Mexico’s rising industrial and technology sectors require stronger financial integration with the U.S. and Canada. By positioning the U.S. as the central economic hub, we ensure that North America remains competitive in the global economy.
A Call to Action: Making This Role a Reality
The Trump administration, U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), and the Department of the Treasury have an opportunity to formalize this position and recognize the need for a high-level strategic liaison.
I am currently in discussions with key stakeholder policymakers, and institutional investors to ensure that the U.S. takes a leadership role in economic diplomacy and structured finance across North America.
I invite government leaders, investors, and trade officials to engage in this discussion and shape the future of North American economic integration.
Final Thoughts: A Defining Moment for U.S. Economic Leadership
The global financial landscape is evolving rapidly. The U.S. must act now to secure its economic dominance North America, or risk losing influence to competitors in Europe and Asia.
A Special Envoy for North American Economic Relations is a title—it is a necessary role to drive investment, trade, and financial integration across the continent. I look forward to working with stakeholders to make this visit a reality.
