USA TRUST BROKEN: Gordie Howe Bridge FINALLY OPENS as Trump EXTORTS Canada

USA trust broken: Gordie Howe Bridge FINALLY opens — but Trump EXTORTS Canada for 50% of toll profits before allowing it. Canada news today: Canada built it. Canada paid. Then Washington demanded more. The Gordie Howe International Bridge connects Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan — and Canada financed every dollar of it. When the bridge was finished, paid for, and ready to open, the Trump administration held it hostage. The price? Fifty percent of all toll revenue profits, plus U.S. veto power over any toll increase greater than 10%. Those tolls were supposed to repay Canada's investment. Instead, a large share of future profits is now being redirected to Washington. We break down what actually happened, why it looks like government-level extortion, and what it signals about every future agreement Canada signs with the United States.
