Trump Rewrites Gordie Howe Bridge Deal, US Gets 50% Profit After Canada Snub
President Trump says Canada disinvited the United States from the bridge’s opening, so the original deal is void and the U.S. now receives half the profit.
- Canada disinvited the United States from the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge.
- Trump says the original deal no longer stands and the U.S. now receives 50% of the bridge’s profit.
- The original agreement was “terribly negotiated” by a previous Administration and is now void, Trump says.
Why it matters: A president publicly announcing he “changed the terms” of a bilateral infrastructure agreement turns a ribbon-cutting into a sovereign profit claim.
