Episode notes
Trump's Bridge Threat Misrepresents Facts
- Donald Trump's online threats to block the Gordie Howe International Bridge opening are based on false claims about Canadian exclusion of U.S. steel.
- Both Michigan and Canada share ownership and Canada paid over $4 billion for construction, so blocking would harm US workers and commerce.
Private Interests Fuel Political Pressure
- The Ambassador Bridge owner lobbied to block the Gordie Howe span, creating private interest behind political pressure.
- That lobbying coincided with meetings at the White House just before Trump's public attack.
Local Pride And Practical Gains
- West Windsor residents and workers expressed pride and frustration over the bridge after decades of delays.
- Local businesses say the crossing will cut truck delays and save about 850,000 driving hours per year.
