Summary
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a decades-in-the-making link between Detroit and Windsor, is now indefinitely delayed — and the blame may lie with a $1 million MAGA Inc. donation from billionaire Matthew Moroun. The move has triggered political backlash, with former President Trump reportedly blocking the bridge’s opening, while Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow accuses the Moroun family of using political influence to stall progress. Meanwhile, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is negotiating toll structures, as Washington views the bridge as vital to automotive trade — all while Canadian taxpayers foot much of the bill.
