Vile & Evil. Officials in New York and New Jersey said if the money isn't freed-up by Friday, the project would stop, leaving approximately 1,000 construction jobs in jeopardy. 0 f*cks given.
He’s gonna scream loudly that he wants Canada to pay for the bridge. Then he’s going to yell loudly that Canada did pay for the bridge. Then he is going to yell loudly that he won. Then his idiot followers are going to worship him for his “brilliant maneuvers in foreign policy”. Then Trump is going to shit his pants.
Trump is such a fucking embarrassment to the Americans. Every goddamn time he tweets or opens his mouth he once again proves he has no fucking idea what he's doing.
Come to find out, the owner of the old, competing bridge met with Lutnick shortly before the one we do not name posted. Any guess as to what happened in that meeting?
A masterclass also in how 350 million Americans willingly/spinelessly/apathetically allowed their country to slowly lumber through broad daylight for over a decade into becoming a fascist dictatorship.
Woke up to an email my trip to Cuba has been cancelled. Cuba depended on Venezuelan oil and there's no jet fuel left on the island so all flights cancelled.
Not only that, he's trying to demand US ownership for half the bridge. Despite Canada paying for the construction and the fact that Canada already had a joint ownership agreement to share the operation of said bridge with Michigan. We were already benefiting disproportionately from this. But ol' Dementia Don saw an opportunity to be a lil' bitch and try pushing around Canada even more, because he's too stupid to notice that he's pissed away his own main leverage (their relationship with the US).
What does it even mean to "own" part of the bridge? It means you're paying for the maintenance and little else. It's not like you can move the bridge if you don't like where it is. It's there, and it's going to be a bridge, that's it. It's already done. All that's left is keeping it up.
Dementia Don sees opportunities to be a lil' bitch everywhere: refuses to free funds paying for new tunnel NY to NJ, unless -of course- Penn Station, Dulles Airport gets named after him.
The move came shortly after Howard Lutnick met with Detroit trucking magnate Matthew Moroun, whose family controls the privately owned Ambassador Bridge, a New York Times report revealed. The Moroun family has spent decades fighting construction of the publicly backed Gordie Howe International Bridge, which would battle with the family for toll revenue once it opens. — https://www.rawstory.com/trump-canada-2675257366/
Canada should negotiate with “oh, alright… we’ll pay 75% of the construction costs, and you remove all tariffs on trade through our borders for the next 10 years… and we’ll call it the Trump Bridge, even!”
Canada gets a 25% refund, and becomes a low-cost conduit for global trade to the footgun nation.
Worse than that, Trump posted his most deranged post ever. Demanding Canada accept all our goods, or we won't accept the Bridge. Even saying China will cancel hockey.... WTF
“Now, things are turning around for the USA, and FAST!” Well, i would say that that is a true statement. Things used to be going well for the US, now not so much…
They have also managed to get Michigan to prevent the building of multiple additional bridges, which is why Canada has finally footed 100% of the cost on this one despite agreements with Michigan that any new bridges had to be 50/50. That agreement ended up being a back door blockade that has prevented more crossings being built, even at Sarnia/Porn Huron.
There are four sites along the St. Clair river that have at some time in the last 40 years gone through the permit process for international bridges and one more for a tunnel. Two of these cleared all the necessary hurdles on the Ontario side but all were defeated politically in Michigan.

Rumour has it that the owner of the Ambassador Bridge that it will 'replace' is a Trump donor and doesn't want the new bridge to open.

Even without the context of this post. Based solely on this comment... I know exactly what piece of shit you are talking about...

The reason Trump was complaining about the Canadian bridge is that the owner of a competing toll bridge visited his Commerce Secretary.

It's all good, I saw it coming when USA captured Maduro and was prepared for the likelihood. Full refund, no penalties, just frustrating.

And like... Dulles Airport? It's not even in NY of NJ. Why would they ever even consider it? He was probably thinking of JFK.
BlackHoleSon01
He did it because the wealthy family that owns the private bridge had a meeting with Trump administration people-- and probably made a big donation.

The move came shortly after Howard Lutnick met with Detroit trucking magnate Matthew Moroun, whose family controls the privately owned Ambassador Bridge, a New York Times report revealed.

Spotted on Reddit: “As Canada paid for the construction, they should rename it to the Barack Obama Noble Peace Bridge.”

Nah; given that it’s officially the Gordie Howe bridge, and Trump decided to throw a tantrum over it, I say we start calling it the Elbows Up bridge.

Probably wants the bridge named after him too. You know, after he paints it gold.

Trump gets his name on a bridge.

The problem is that you can't trust any agreement he makes, as Trump doesn't abide by his deals. Like with NAFTA's replacement, CUSMA/USMCA.

There isn't any more room for bridges in sarnia/port huron. Unless they tear down the 2 separate bridges to build one larger one it isn't happening.
