(Detroit, MI) – Ambassador Bridge owner Matthew Moroun met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Monday before President Trump posted a threat to prevent the Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening without Canadian concessions. The New York Times reports Lutnick talked to Trump immediately after the meeting with Moroun, who had fought the state for years trying to prevent a second bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. Former Governor Rick Snyder says in an op-ed in The Detroit News that Moroun’s family is the only winner if the Gordie Howe International Bridge opening is delayed or stopped.
Snyder negotiated the deal with Canada to get the bridge built.
