Trump Slams Athletes, Blocks Bridge, Appeals for Maxwell

Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Monday, February 9, 2026, for a series of actions and statements, including threatening to block the opening of a new bridge between Detroit and Canada, criticizing Olympic skier Hunter Hess, and slamming Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance. Simultaneously, Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers but indicated a willingness to testify if Trump ended her prison sentence.

Trump's threat to block the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a Canadian-built structure connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, came as he demanded Canada cede at least half-ownership of the bridge and agree to other unspecified terms. According to NPR News, Trump stated, "We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset."

In response to Olympic skier Hunter Hess expressing "mixed feelings" about representing the U.S. at the Winter Games, Trump criticized the athlete. Hess responded by stating, "There are always things that could be better about America," according to Variety.

Trump also took aim at Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it "an affront to the greatness of America." Jimmy Kimmel responded to Trump's criticism, as reported by Variety, stating, "This Is a Man Who Paid Off a Porn Star Who Spanked Him."

Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was deposed by House lawmakers on Monday, declined to answer their questions. However, she indicated to the House Oversight Committee that she would be willing to testify if Trump were to end her prison sentence, according to NPR News.

These events occurred against a backdrop of ongoing discussions about cross-border trade issues, the complexities of green technology and its impact on resource-rich nations like the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the continued scrutiny of high-profile figures.
