About this episode

A panel of experts discusses the implications of Chinese parts in the USMCA renegotiation and the role of the Gordie Howe Bridge in trade negotiations.

A panel of North American auto industry experts digs into how Chinese parts in the supply chain could reshape the new deal, whether the Gordie Howe Bridge is being used as a bargaining chip and where automotive tariffs realistically land if zero-tariff trade doesn’t survive the review.
