Shortly after, Trump publicly opposed the bridge’s launch, and now no date is set for its opening. Canada and the U.S. are negotiating over unresolved issues, with U.S. Commerce Secretary stepping in over toll allocations—a move critics say turns the bridge into political leverage. Senator Mallory McMorrow calls it corruption, while the Morouns, led by patriarch Matty and his heirs, have long wielded business and political power. Though some in Canada see little impact on trade talks, the episode underscores how infrastructure can become a pawn in political games.
