Have you ever noticed that Trump gets concessions he wants before he "chickens out"

You negotiate with your enemy with your knee on his chest and your knife at his throat

Poor Alaska. Block the bridge, then block roads and rail lines that go to Alaska. Someone tell Trump that Alaska is a US state that relies on Canada to get its food delivered.

If I had to pick a dog in that fight, I'd bet on Wexit and no worries, since BC and Alberta would become 51 and 52.

So now we know why Trump suddenly went against the bridge. It's all corruption, of course. Matthew Moroun is the billionaire Trump donor/supporter who just happens to own the Ambassador Bridge, the only bridge presently connecting Michigan and Ontario.

'Bridge Owner Lobbied Administration Before Trump Blasted Competing Span to Canada'

"Matthew Moroun is a Detroit-based trucking magnate whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for decades. He met on Monday with Mr. Lutnick in Washington, according to two officials briefed on the meeting who requested anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

After that meeting Mr. Lutnick spoke with Mr. Trump by phone about the matter, the officials said.

Shortly afterward, Mr. Trump threatened to block the planned opening of a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor, which would take away toll revenue from Mr. Moroun’s crossing, if Canadian officials did not address a long list of grievances."

Now that Anutin is back as PM, imagine how much more crying and whining you'll be able to do!

Good point! I don't cry but I do like to complain about nonsense from politicians, as you've seen from my posts about the 13 year old American moron president.

No it doesnt. There are only two highways from Canada into the US, one is seasonal and the other is virtually never used for freight.

Food for Alaska comes in via barge.

Wish what was true? Dropping the name "Kennedy" and the word "memorial".

Have a little think about what the term, "memorial center" means.

Celebrating the death of Kennedy? Or wishing for the demise of Trump? Trying to be clever to avoid the mods?

Thats quite silly, he cant "give Alaska to his buddy putin" under any circumstances other than the childish fantasy of a Trump hater.

Democrats launching probe into Trump, Lutnick links with Moroun after Gordie Howe bridge threat

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/trump-bridge-moroun-lutnick-gordie-howe-ambassador-investigation-9.7088779?cmp=rss

Democrats in Washington say they’re launching an investigation into the Trump administration and its links to the Ambassador Bridge's owner after the U.S. president threatened to block the opening of the competing Gordie Howe International Bridge earlier this week. 

The top Democrat on the House oversight committee has requested that the administration turn over a wide range of records related to the Gordie Howe bridge, as well as any communications with Matthew Moroun.

The bridges, which are within about five kilometres of each other, link Windsor, Ont., to Detroit.

“It appears that you have chosen to protect a politically connected billionaire donor family at the expense of promoting American commerce,” California Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s ranking member, wrote in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick this week.

Stop the presses. The Dems are investigating Trump! Again.

Meanwhile, over at CNN, Harry Enten says the voters are getting tired of it.
