"In a typically discursive social-media post, Trump announced, "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." The post also predicts that ice hockey will soon be banned in Canada as a result of its trade agreement with China."
"The president of the United States became aware Monday evening, apparently for the first time, that a new bridge is set to open between Michigan and Ontario. The project promises to create a fast and inexpensive route that Michigan's farmers and businesses have sought for decades. Donald Trump decided this could not stand. On the surface, this looked to be just one more Trumpian tantrum,"
A new bridge between Michigan and Ontario is set to open, promising a fast and inexpensive route long sought by Michigan farmers and businesses. The president posted that he would not allow the bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated and until Canada treats the United States with fairness and respect, and he predicted that ice hockey could be banned in Canada due to a China trade agreement. Hours before the post, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick met with Matthew Moroun, owner of the competing Ambassador Bridge, then spoke with the president by phone. The privately owned Ambassador Bridge has been the sole Detroit-Windsor trucking link, often congested and tolled.
