Re: Trump wants Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal
Dear Mr. President,
Our government entered an agreement with the State of Michigan and Canadian taxpayers have fronted the cost to proceed with the Gordie Howe International Bridge in a spirit of goodwill and in the national security and economic interests of both countries.
9-11 showed that a closed border for even modest duration could cause two economies significant harm; and exposed that the Ambassador Bridge could be a future terrorist target. Redundancy and capacity for growth was in both countries' interests.
The process to determine a crossing location was both bi-national and bipartisan - begun by a GOP President and a Liberal Prime Minister. It was driven to funding and early construction by a GOP Governor and a Conservative Prime Minister, supported by a Democrat President.
And, I remind you construction began in earnest in your first term as President. Back then you called for expeditious construction of the Gordie.
(Trump, Trudeau call for 'expeditious' construction of Gordie Howe International Bridge | Crain's Detroit Business https://share.google/ZmrKjy7SuwnPNlZku…)
The bridge bears the name of someone beloved to both our countries - the late-Gordie Howe, Saskatchewan born and Motor City tough.
Finally, it is a matter of record that the Gordie required a Canadian push and US support, because of the outsized influence of one of your fellow billionaires, over US politicians, in an effort to derail the project.
Having been close to the file when I served in the House of Commons Canada, I intend to be there when the Gordie is open to the public. I hope you will be, too - and in the spirit of goodwill.

Looks like the order will be 30.

TLDR: Can being kicked. Parts are not planes or contracts. The likelihood of 30 F-35 is probable but no agreement is worth the paper it is printed on as long as shitler is in charge. So we will delay, review and defer until he is out of the picture.
