You can see why fossil fuel billionaires loathe renewables, anyway. That's not a small amount of money. Trump serves America's ~900 billionaires, not its 340,000,000 people.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
Exactly. He wants all the money to go to his old lumpy bridge.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

So what's Trump's problem?
The billionaire Maroun family who owns and tolls the Ambassador Bridge will lose out on tolls when the new bridge opens.
Billionaires backing billionaires once again.
Canada will gift the US side to Michigan after paying $6.4B to build it too. BUT the billionaire Maroun family of Detroit who own and toll the Ambassador Bridge and fought long and hard against the new bridge will be out toll income when Gordie Howe opens.

Get your story straight. Trump wants to rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after himself in exchange for funding and unrelated project.
It was Trump that gave the Gordie Howe bridge his blessings in 2017.

You're missing the point here. The billionaire Maroun family of Detroit owns the Ambassador bridge and has a monopoly on bridge tolls atm. They fought a new toll bridge tooth and nail for a decade. Trump is fighting the good fight for yet another billionaire crony here.

Canada spent $6.4 billion to build this bridge and the US did not contribute. Construction started in the last Trump era, 2018. The issue: this new toll bridge will cut into the profits of the Maroun family of Detroit who own the Ambassador Bridge.
