BREAKING NEWS: Trump Threatened to Block Canada’s $6.4B Gordie Howe Bridge—Then Michigan Republicans Publicly Shut Him Down
The threat was aimed north—but the pushback came from home. After Trump reportedly signaled he could block or delay the $6.4B Gordie Howe International Bridge, Michigan Republicans stepped forward and publicly rejected the move. Lawmakers and local leaders warned that the crossing is too critical to Detroit’s economy to become a bargaining chip. The bridge, largely financed by Canada, is designed to ease congestion and secure billions in daily trade, especially for the auto industry. Even the hint of disruption rattled suppliers and logistics firms on both sides of the border. But the swift response from within Trump’s own party shifted the narrative. What looked like a looming standoff suddenly met bipartisan resistance at the state level. If that resistance holds, the bridge may open as planned—and the real story may be the fracture it revealed.
