At Senate Appropriations Hearing, Peters Presses DHS Secretary Mullin on the Gordie Howe Bridge

Published | Video Starts at 00:36

As you know, it's the second busiest border crossing in North America right now. Everybody is excited about it across business, all sectors of Michigan's economy and the Midwest. The only person that I know, there's one billionaire that's against it. And that's a person who owns a competing bridge, a private bridge that's competing. Other than that, there's just universal support. So my question. This is to Secretary Mullen, or you can defer it, but is DHS and specifically CBP prepared right now to facilitate trade and travel at the bridge? (00:36–00:44)

CLAIM

Asserts that a billionaire who owns a competing private bridge is the only known opponent of the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
