"As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel."
"Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just "take advantage of America!" What does the United States of America get - Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China - which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers! I don't think so."
The president threatens to block the Gordie Howe bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor until the United States receives compensation and fair treatment. He asserts Canada built and owns both sides of the bridge with virtually no U.S. content and cites an Obama-era waiver that he says circumvented the Buy American Act. He accuses Ontario of prohibiting U.S. alcoholic products, criticizes Canadian dairy tariffs, and warns that a Canada–China deal would disadvantage the United States. He demands immediate negotiations, proposes U.S. partial ownership of the bridge, and predicts large revenues from U.S. market access.
