🤯 Trump Holds Canada-US Bridge Opening Hostage As Trade Threat, But WE PAID FOR IT! | News
Description
The US President is holding the newly completed Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit hostage to help his billionaire buddies, using the excuse of unfair US-Canada trade practices. The bridge has been described as “they key to the US and Canadian economies” as the busiest border crossing for trade transport. It seems like Prime Minister Mark Carney’s CUSMA negotiating team is preparing to use it as leverage, if necessary. In this news update, Bill breaks down the facts behind the Gordie Howe bridge deal, and examines what this conflict could mean for US-Canada relations, international trade, and the broader landscape of Canadian politics. Let’s talk about it! Tune into Episode 452 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily Canadian news updates. This news update was recorded on May 17, 2026.
