## Resource

The USMCA renegotiation has some players that aren’t at the table and a bridge that isn’t open yet. 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.
