I'm from Detroit and it's criminal how this administration is extorting money for deals that were made before they were in office. When I visit I and look at the modern completed new Gordy howe bridge next to the old and crumbling Ambassador bridge I wonder how this grifter gets away with this. It's bad enough that solar projects in Detroit were scrapped well into construction, because funding was canceled. So much has been lost and wasted because of flawed ideas and corruption.

He doesn't buy - he steals. He grabs. He TAKES whatever he wants - and never pays.

Is it still possible to make a deal with Americans that they will honor ? America First is making America alone.

It is so comforting to listen to the adults speaking for a change.

Rump is such a liar and cheat. Even before entering politics he was involved in, not dozens, not hundreds, but thousands of lawsuits. Serial abuser

You couldn't wait till the Gordie was open to broadcast the fine print????

Canada are very lucky to have such an intelligent and capable leader.
@
Trump really thinks that he is a mob boss who gets to shake down the world.
@
There was a legally binding contract signed which sets all this out. As usual the Tangerine turd and the USA don't want to abide by their legal obligations. Canada should just sue the USA for breach of contract, and loss of revenue for the bridge staying closed

The mafia tactics from the Trump administration are getting tiresome. Enough with trying to only grift your allies.
@
How shameful it is to be American these days.
@
I do hope when Trump is out of office that we can go back to treating Canada as a valuable ally who we have shared interests with.

Once again the DT gang attempts to get easy money and ignore prior agreement s. Bravo Canada.😊😊
@
lol. 20% surcharge!!

Support Canada as USA has broken several contracts internationally in so many ways.

This is what it looks like when a real deal maker with a PhD in economics, tells a small potatoes, 12-employees business owner / television game show host actor, how things are going to be. Well done, Prime Minister Carney. Thank you. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Right: Trump signed the agreement in his first term; he has no sound basis for changing the terms now. Keep his feet to the fire; make him honor the original terms. To Hell with the owners of the other bridge, who have profiteered for decades, and to Hell with Trump the bribe-chaser.

That was the original agreement. Be careful, the US is getting a reputation for unreliability in contracts.
@
When you know the guy in charge doesn''t pay his bills.
@
Canada paid for the bridge, so of course they deserve to recoup their money!!

Fair enough. Why should we hand over the cash before we've even broken even? Seems like a pretty basic business move to me. Hope the construction actually stays on schedule for once.

This feels like a high-stakes political drama unfolding in real time! The tension over who gets the toll money is such a twist. Do you think Canada is playing it smart here, or is this going to cause a major rift with the US? Let me know your takes!
