President Donald Trump has threatened to stop the new Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening until the United States gets paid back. The bridge is a major project that connects Michigan and Ontario across the Detroit River. Officials on both sides have been working on this 1.6-mile bridge for decades.
According to The Independent, Trump wrote on his social media that he will not let the bridge open until America is “fully compensated for everything we have given them.” He also said Canada must treat the US with fairness and respect. He even demanded that the United States should own “perhaps, at least one half of this asset.”
