Why is Trump blocking the Gordie Howe International Bridge?

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the delayed opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a Canadian-financed infrastructure project connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. Although the bridge is ready to open, the Trump administration has blocked its launch, allegedly due to lobbying by the owner of the competing Ambassador Bridge. They explore whether this represents pay-to-play corruption in the Trump White House and debate whether Canada should adopt more transactional tactics to advance its interests in the bilateral relationship.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsDave Chidley/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
