WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to block the opening of a new bridge connecting the United States and Canada amid growing tensions in relations.
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and, importantly, until Canada treats the United States with the fairness and respect we deserve,” he wrote on Truth Social.
"Considering everything we've given them, we should own at least half of this asset. The revenues generated by the US market will be astronomical," the president continued, adding that he plans to "begin the relevant negotiations immediately."
Although D. Trump did not mention the name of the structure in his post, he apparently was referring to the six-lane Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects the city of Windsor in the Canadian province of Ontario and the American city of Detroit in the state of Michigan.
Construction of the bridge began in 2018, and it is expected to open early this year. According to ABC News, the project, estimated to cost $4.7 billion, is financed and overseen by the Canadian government.
