This video from House of El discusses the recent controversy surrounding President Trump's threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a critical infrastructure project connecting Detroit, USA, and Windsor, Canada. The Core Dispute The Threat: President Trump posted on Truth Social that he would block the bridge's opening, claiming it was built with "virtually no US content" and demanding that the U.S. should own at least half of the asset [ 00:43]. The Correction: Mark Carney (the Canadian Prime Minister) called Trump to explain that the U.S. (specifically Michigan) already co-owns the bridge through a 2012 agreement [ 01:05]. Furthermore, Canada paid the entire $4 billion construction cost upfront, with the U.S. receiving its half of the ownership for free [ 02:52]. US Involvement: Contrary to the President's claims, the bridge was built using American steel and American labor [ 01:13]. Institutional and Economic Implications Institutional Collapse: The narrator argues this is a sign of "institutional competence collapse," where the executive branch makes demands that contradict its own signed, publicly available agreements [ 01:48]. Market Risk: This dysfunction creates "political risk" for international investors. Mark Carney has signaled that Canada is attempting to decouple its economic risk from American political volatility [ 05:02]. Economic Self-Harm: Blocking the bridge would primarily hurt U.S. interests by obstructing exporters, trucking companies, and Michigan port workers from using the most efficient trade route between the two nations [ 06:02]. Context and Patterns Repeat Behavior: The video notes this is the third time in two weeks Trump has made demands based on fundamental misunderstandings, citing previous incidents regarding Greenland and trade deals with China [ 04:19]. Prediction: The narrator predicts the bridge will likely open within 90 days, with Trump potentially claiming he "negotiated" concessions that actually already existed [ 06:40].
