report:
A Michigan congresswoman said Feb. 10 the owner of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, met with a Trump administration official before President Donald Trump threatened to keep the rival Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening unless Canadian officials make further trade concessions.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor, said during a news conference that she had it on good authority that a meeting between a representative of Matthew Moroun, whose family has long controlled ownership of the Ambassador Bridge, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick took place on Monday, Feb. 9, shortly before Trump made the threat via his Truth Social account. [emphasis added]
Dingell later confirmed for the Free Press she had learned it was Moroun himself who met with Lutnick. The Free Press has been unable to independently verify any meeting took place but the New York Times confirmed that Moroun himself met with Lutnick based on two sources who were briefed on the meeting.
