In a strange twist, Trump is now threatening to block the opening of a bridge at the northern border that Canada actually already paid for. The bridge is entirely funded by Canada, which decided to foot the bill after years of waiting for buy-in from the US. Canada wants a better tie-in to its freeway system and more capacity for trade than what’s offered by the nearly 100-year-old Ambassador Bridge. This is from Trump’s post:They (Canada) own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. Reflecting that shift in sentiment, Carney and Canada, who have been repeatedly threatened by Trump, are seeking a new trade agreement with China.
