The article explores allegations that former U.S.President Donald Trump employed gangster-like tactics in his foreign policy, using the contentious dispute over the Gordie Howe Bridge between Canada and the United States as a case study.

It argues that Trump's approach to international relations mirrored the strategies of organized crime syndicates, including leveraging economic leverage, aggressive negotiation tactics, and a disregard for diplomatic norms.

The bridge dispute, which involved Trump demanding concessions from Canada over trade and infrastructure, is presented as an example of his 'gangster regime' mentality.

The piece also draws parallels between Trump's actions and historical figures like Vladimir Putin, suggesting that both leaders have used intimidation and coercion to achieve political goals.

However, the article warns that such tactics ultimately face limits, as seen in Putin's struggles in Ukraine and Trump's potential vulnerabilities in the Middle East.

The conclusion emphasizes that while Trump's methods may yield short-term gains, they risk long-term geopolitical instability and undermine international cooperation.
