Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke to US President Donald Trump early Tuesday morning about the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, after Trump threatened to block its opening.
Carney said he explained to Trump that Canadians paid for the bridge in full and that the Americans already have an ownership stake. He said the federal govt paid some $4 billion to build the Windsor-Detroit bridge and that it was built with Canadian and US workers and steel from both countries, despite what Carney described as the president's bogus claims that there was "virtually no US content" used during construction, CBC reported.
