MI-SEN: Mike Rogers says Donald Trump's Gordie Howe bridge threat is 'the right thing to do'

[RandySF]

STERLING HEIGHTS — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers was generally unfazed by President Donald Trump’s threat to prevent the opening of the newly-constructed Gordie Howe International Bridge, saying Tuesday morning that Trump needs leverage to enact better trade deals with Canada, and China by proxy.

Rogers was in Sterling Heights on Tuesday to unveil a new housing policy aimed at fixing the regulatory scheme that holds some back from purchasing a new home, and geared toward making the financing for a new home more accessible.

Trump’s threat issued Monday evening — part of the president’s simmering trade dispute with Canada — dominated questions at the policy rollout event.

When asked about materials and the nation’s lumber supply imports from Canada, Rogers was questioned about his level of concern over Trump’s posturing potentially hurting his housing plans.
