Thanedar, House Democrats call on Trump to open Gordie Howe bridge

U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar and fellow Democrats Bennie Thompson and Lou Correa urged President Donald Trump to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Detroit to Ontario, Canada. The bridge's opening was delayed by Trump, with critics citing the Moroun family's influence due to their ownership of the Ambassador Bridge. Thanedar emphasized the bridge's economic importance for commerce and auto industry jobs.
