Warning that cozying up to China will spell disaster for Canada, President Donald Trump says he will block the opening of a bridge connecting Ontario and Michigan until Canada undergoes a long-overdue attitude adjustment.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge has been scheduled to open early this year, according toPolitico.
It connects Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, and could allow vehicle, bicycle and foot traffic between the U.S. and Canada.
“As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST!” Trump wrote in a post Monday on theTruth Socialsocial media platform.
“Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content,” Trump wrote.
Trump wrote that the deal to build the bridge is reflective of the woeful leadership of former President Barack Obama.
“President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just ‘take advantage of America!’” Trump wrote.
“What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so,” Trump wrote.
