Trump Threatens Bridge, Faces Criticism, Epstein Allegations

Former President Donald Trump threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Canada on Monday, demanding compensation and "Fairness and Respect" from the Canadian government. The six-lane bridge is set to connect Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated he would not allow the bridge to open "until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve," according to ABC News. Trump also suggested the U.S. should own at least half of the asset, citing the "astronomical" revenues generated by the U.S. market, as reported by CBS News.

Trump's criticism extended to Canadian trade practices, specifically mentioning Ontario's reluctance to stock U.S. alcoholic products and Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products, which he called "unacceptable," according to CBS News. He also claimed that Prime Minister Mark Carney was attempting to make a deal with China.

This announcement comes amidst other news surrounding the former president. According to an FBI account of an interview, a former Palm Beach, Florida, police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s told the FBI he had received a call from Donald Trump at the time to say "thank goodness youre stopping him, everyone has known hes been doing this," as reported by ABC News. Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

The news of Trump's actions regarding the bridge and his past comments come as the media continues to analyze his actions and statements.
