Everyone grab your favorite road trip snack and pick out some good tunes, because today we’re talking about the increasingly important I-35 corridor.

Since mountainous terrain restricts rail transport through Mexico and the Jones Act makes water transport expensive and complicated, I-35 acts as a key US-Mexico trade route. This runs from Mexico City, through Texas (hitting lots of the big cities along the way), then up through Kansas City, and even connecting to other regions from there.

With Mexico’s growing role in North American trade, the I-35 corridor has become one of the most significant trade arteries in the US. While investments in rail infrastructure and reforms to the Jones Act would make transport between the US and Mexico more efficient, the I-35 and its trucks will continue to play a major role until that happens.

Here at Zeihan on Geopolitics, our chosen charity partner is MedShare. They provide emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it, so we can be sure that every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence.
