"The prices of electronics would definitely go up."

The tariffs will "increase prices for everything that's imported, and that includes food."

Trump tariffs would "raise prices even more for consumers."

"I am extremely confident that food will get more expensive."

Trump's tariffs would "increase the cost of US manufacturing."

"Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee."

"Tariffs would disrupt supply chains and increase production costs."

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, Michigan, until the U.S. is "fully compensated for everything" it has given to its neighbor and Canada treats the U.S. with "Fairness and Respect."

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, Michigan, until the U.S. is "fully compensated for everything" it has given to its neighbor and Canada treats the U.S. with "Fairness and Respect."

The CAD $6.4 billion ($4.7 billion) cost of the bridge has been entirely funded by Canada's federal government, though the bridge is under public joint ownership of Canada and the state of Michigan. Construction began in 2018 and major construction is now complete.

Trump endorsed the bridge as a priority project in 2017, issuing a joint statement with then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling it a vital economic link between the two countries. The bridge is named for hockey legend Gordie Howe, who played with the Detroit Red Wings.

Meanwhile, Trump called for negotiations in his post, with his trade chief, Jamieson Greer, telling Fox Business that he wants to ensure any revenue from the project — such as from tolls — is shared between the two nations.

Trump also claimed in his post that China would "terminate ALL ice hockey" in Canada and "permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup" if Canada pursues closer trade relations with Beijing. He also criticized Ontario's banning of U.S. spirits from government liquor stores.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer defended the bridge, stating it was built by unionized construction workers from both sides of the border and will "open one way or another." Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens called Trump's post "insane" and claimed parts of it were factually incorrect.

Senator Elissa Slotkin said Trump's threat to block the bridge is "awful" for Michigan's economy and would result in "higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains and, ultimately, fewer jobs." She also stated Canada is America's friend, not its enemy.

Blocking a bridge Canada fully funded is pure extortion dressed up as negotiation. Canada paid the entire $6.4 billion for construction on both sides of the border — demanding 50% ownership after the fact is just strong-arming a neighbor to force broader trade concessions. This isn't about fairness, it's about punishing Canada for refusing to be bullied and seeking trade partnerships elsewhere.

Canada built a bridge on American soil, owns both sides, and used zero American steel thanks to Obama's waiver that bypassed Buy American requirements. Ontario bans U.S. alcohol from shelves while charging crushing dairy tariffs that devastate American farmers. Demanding compensation and at least half ownership of an asset generating revenue from U.S. markets isn't extortion — it's standing up for American interests after decades of getting nothing.
