Trump threatens to prevent opening of Canada-Michigan bridge over treatment of US, China friendship

President Donald Trump threatened late Monday to block the opening of a new bridge on the border between Michigan and Canada, over Canada’s treatment of the United States and its budding relationship with China.The new bridge is expected to open early this year and is set to be the only bridge that allows for foot and bike traffic between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, according to Politico. The bridge will be maintained by Canada. 
Trump said he would derail the plan for the Gordie Howe International Bridge to open soon in a post on Truth Social, stating that Canada has not been treating the United States “fairly” for decades. 
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump insisted. “We will start negotiations immediately.”
Trump also slammed Canada’s new friendship with China, who he claimed will “eat Canada alive.” 
“Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so” Trump said. “Now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.”
The comment comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last month that his country negotiated a new “strategic partnership” with the Communist regime in Beijing, that promised to expand trade and mutual investment, along with close cooperation on law enforcement that focuses on drug trafficking and cybercrime.
