Gordie Howe bridge opening scuttled after Trump officials pushed back (www.detroitnews.com)

Two top Trump advisers privately pushed back this week on plans to open the long-awaited Gordie Howe International Bridge, according to three sources familiar with the behind-the-scenes discussions.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had been appointed by President Donald Trump to lead discussions with the Canadians about opening the $4.7, six-lane span between Michigan and Ontario, citing “outstanding issues” that require resolution.

...

Trump's comments followed the revelation of a meeting between Lutnick and Matthew Moroun, the billionaire owner of the Ambassador Bridge, whose private crossing will face the first competition for lucrative truck traffic in the Ambassador's 97 years of operation.

Definitely, Trump's beak wasn't wet enough even if he just dived into the water. He's had a taste, everyone treats him with kid gloves.....so ask for more, and more....you thought that was enough? Nope a bit more. Fat fucker is gorging himself on the world's economy and the US lets him get away with it.

Ya ya I know work and shit but the orange turd has flushed away all credibility of the US and still continues. Basically allowed themselves to be a rogue nation, when you feel Iran is the creditable party then you know you all fucked up. That was months ago. And here we are.

He just wants his mob boss kickback as standard for bosses and orange piles of shit. I'd probably take a random mob boss over Trump they'd have some restraint and decency.
