It’s like he has a go-to for trying like a bully to get his way and that is Extortion.
So, Canada has a bridge they built at Canadian expense that goes between Ontario and Michigan. The terms of the deal are that after Canada recoups money on the bridge through tolls, Michigan will also get part of the toll money. Again, CANADA PAID FOR the bridge and the deal about the bridge is between Canada and Michigan. Keep in mind that Trump has NO AUTHORITY to interfere
A billionaire family that owns a bridge crossing between Michigan and Canada has wanted Trump to stop a new bridge — and Trump is now threatening to block its opening (with authority he doesn’t have). www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u…

Given that we know that Trump i infinitely bribeable, wonder if the Moroun family bribed Trump do this since they have a different bridge
During Trump’s first term, the Moroun family, which owns the Ambassador Bridge, reportedly appealed to the Trump administration to stymie the Gordie Howe Bridge in step with their long-held legal claims that it would infringe on an exclusive right to collect tolls.
This is the part he’s not telling you: the only folks who’ll lose when this bridge opens are the Morouns—billionaire Trump donors who own the competing bridge. This is about rewarding them. With Trump it’s ALWAYS about the grift.

Canada built a bridge to join us as friends AND PAID for all of it! America what is wrong with you that you allow this moronic ape to tear down every alliance, every “bridge” you have to your true friends with his idiotic, selfish vitriol full of lies. Remove Trump and Restore America! 🇺🇸

Up pops the thug, who has been regularly threatening and trying to bully Canada for the last months. In fact, it pissed off Canadians so much that quite a lot of them no longer buy America. I would be among them, who wants to see some jerk from another country denigrate your country and call it the 51st state. Etc. If you are not keeping up on this, including the complete creep who is the US Ambassador to Canada, you should.
Have to add Trump added something abuot China preventing Canada from playing ICE Hockey in Canada. hah. Who knows that’s gong on in that deteriotatting head of his?
Here’s what Mark Carney had to say about this
"This is a great example of cooperation between our countries, look forward to it opening," says PM Mark Carney as he discusses call he had with Donald Trump following the U.S. president's threat to block the opening of Gordie Howe Bridge between Windsor and Detroit. #cdnpoli
