The Detroit River has been a crucial trade route between the US and Canada since the Civil War. The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest border crossing between the US and Canada. To solve traffic problems and boost trade between the two countries, a new bridge will be opened soon. The Gordie Howe International Bridge will provide a highway between the two nations. It also includes free cycle and pedestrian paths.
It’s a major advancement that has been in the works for decades and will connect Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario.
This bridge also caused one of Donald Trump’s most insane meltdowns.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
As everyone knows, the country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now things are changing for the US, and FAST! But imagine this: Canada is building a huge bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canadian and American sides and obviously built it without American content.
President Barack Hussein Obama simply gave them a waiver so they could bypass the BUY AMERICAN Act and not use American products, including our steel. Now the Canadian government expects me, as President of the United States, to allow them to “just take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get – Absolutely NOTHING!
As usual, Trump is leaving out some very important details. The most important detail Trump left out early in the story is that construction on the bridge began on July 5, 2018, when a man named Donald J. Trump was president.
If this bridge was such a bad idea, we should blame the president who stood by and had the bridge built.
The reason why Trump didn’t say anything then is that the bridge is still a great and important idea, but the president was just getting started.
