– Canada is building a huge bridge between Ontario and Michigan: They own both the Canadian and American sides, and of course have built it almost without American parts, writes Trump in a post on Truth Social.
The bridge he is referring to is the Gordie Howe International Bridge. It will cross the Detroit River. When completed, the bridge will connect Detroit, Michigan with Windsor, Ontario.
He criticizes former President Barack Obama for not having demanded that Canada use American goods, such as steel, in the construction project. Trump also criticizes Canada for wanting to improve cooperation with China.
– Ontario doesn’t even have American liquor, beverages and other alcohol products on their shelves, they completely ban this, and now, on top of everything, Prime Minister (Mark) Carney wants to make a deal with China, which is going to eat Canada alive. Only crumbs remain for us, writes Trump.
– I will not allow the bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and most importantly, that Canada treats the United States with the fairness and respect that we deserve, writes Trump.
– We shall start negotiations immediately. With all that we’ve given them, maybe we should own at least half of this bridge. The income created as a result of the American market is going to be enormous, he concludes.
