  • Matthew Moroun is a Detroit-based trucking magnate whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for nearly 100 years.
  • The Moroun family has spent years — and millions of dollars — fighting the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, whose opening will end their monopolyon commercial truck toll revenue in the area.
  • Matthew Moroun met with US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. Lutnick then spoke directly with Trump by phone about the matter. Within hours, the President of the United States took to social media to voice his opposition to the decades-long plan, scheduled to come to fruition in the coming days.
  • Rather than continue with the contract in good faith, Trump threatened to block the planned opening of a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor if Canadian officials did not address a long list of grievances that had suddenly become an issue for the Trump administration. - SHERO
