Krugman 'Shocked' By New Auto Tariff Outlook
As the United States, Canada, and Mexico prepare to renegotiate the USMCA trade deal, one industry sits squarely at the center of the debate: automobiles. Companies like Linamar depend on highly integrated supply chains that send components across borders multiple times before a vehicle is completed. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman argues that competition from China demands some trade barriers, while Council on Foreign Relations expert Shannon O’Neil says the region’s manufacturing strength depends on cross-border production. Supporters of the agreement warn that uncertainty poses the biggest risk to investment, jobs, and the future of a trade relationship that supports over a trillion dollars in annual commerce.

Michigan, Canadian officials counter Trump claims about Gordie Howe bridge
"Canada and the state of Michigan are 50/50 owners of the new bridge," [former Governor Rick] Snyder wrote. "Canada was wonderful and financed the entire bridge. They will get repaid with interest from the tolls. Michigan and the United States got their half-ownership with no investment."…

He acknowledged some trade issues with Canada, but "picking this bridge as the leverage point doesn't seem to make the most sense given your other tools."

Trump threatens to block new bridge in latest tirade against Canada
As Democrats prepare to force a vote in the US House this week on Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, the president posted a lengthy diatribe on his social media platform in which he threatened to block a bridge connecting the US and Canada and made a bizarre false claim that increased trade between Canada and China would include a ban on Canadians playing ice hockey.
Trump began his latest screed against the US's second-largest trading partner by claiming that "everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades"...
