President Donald Trump’s public threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge has drawn sharp criticism from a newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch.
It comes after Trump recently threatened to block the opening of the nearly completed Gordie Howe International Bridge, a major $4.7 billion project linking Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, that is intended to ease congestion and boost trade between the two countries.
Trump has said he will not allow the bridge to open unless Canada provides compensation and concessions, arguing that the structure was built with too little U.S. content and that the United States should be “fully compensated” and possibly gain a larger ownership stake.
