The House Oversight Committee has officially launched an investigation into how a private meeting may have led President Donald Trump to suddenly block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a multi-billion dollar project connecting Michigan and Ontario.
Trump had previously approved the project during his first term without much further comment. That changed last week when he announced his intention to halt its opening. “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,” he posted on his social media platform.
