U.S. President Donald Trump vows to prevent the Gordie Howe Bridge from opening, the new border crossing linking Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan.
Trump’s Direct Warning
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump stated in a social media post on Monday.
The bridge stands ready as the latest connection between the two regions, but faces this unexpected hurdle amid ongoing U.S.-Canada discussions. The White House has received requests for additional details on the president’s position.
