WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to Donald Trump’s most recent threat to block the Gordie Howe International Bridge and escalate his trade war with Canada, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement:
“Donald Trump will stop at nothing to undermine Michigan’s economy. His reckless tariffs have already driven up costs for Michigan families and businesses. Now he’s threatening to block one of the Midwest’s most important infrastructure projects, putting thousands of Michigan jobs and billions of dollars in economic growth at risk.
“Trump’s trade war hurts Michigan, plain and simple. Canada is our longtime partner. Our manufacturing economy depends on the Detroit–Windsor corridor, and the Gordie Howe International Bridge is essential to our future.
“We must move this project forward. I will always stand up for Michigan. Trump needs to drop this threat, let the bridge open, and stop playing games with our jobs and our economy.”
