[quote=Anonymous]Trump Is Threatening to Block the Michigan-Canada Bridge. He Used to Cheer It.

President Donald Trump threw his support behind the Gordie Howe International Bridge in his first term. Now it’s a symbol of the growing tensions between the U.S. and Canada, with Michigan caught in the middle.
It’s taken more than 2,000 days of construction, $6.4 billion Canadian dollars and seemingly endless studies and permits to build the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
Stretching 1.5 miles between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, the towering cable-stayed span will offer an alternative to the privately owned Ambassador Bridge at one of the busiest land borders in North America, providing a boost to international traffic and trade. And it wasn’t so long ago that President Donald Trump cheered it on. 
Shortly after a meeting in 2017, the man who styled himself as “the builder president” issued a joint statement with Canada’s then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrating their shared focus on infrastructure.
