We start here. The president tells Michigan voters the economy is as healthy as ever. That things are looking good when you think about prices, when you think about jobs. But a war plus new tariffs spark fears that the Motor City is stalling. Hundreds of thousands wake up this morning newly at risk for deportation.
They refuse to go back to Haiti.
There is no Haiti to go back to. temporary protected status just ran out for Haitians and Syrians. And wine country isn't supposed to smell this smoky. Wildfires ripping through France and Spain have driven more than a quarter million from their homes. From ABC News, this is Start Here. I'm Brad Milkey. Yesterday, American officials opened a new bridge that will cross the border into Canada, connecting the cities of Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario. Fittingly, it's named the Gordie Howe Bridge, named after the hockey legend who was born in Canada but plied his trade for the Detroit Red Wings. That bridge is almost the physical manifestation of that relationship. Two countries, each with industrial ambitions, exchanging their best.
It's really exceptional and going to be so important for our redundancy, homeland security and, of course, our economic future. It had been under construction for almost a decade. Well, on this same day, President Trump flew into Michigan to talk about the economy. But what's ironic about this is that despite President Trump championing this project in his first term, he was arguably the chief reason it took so long to open. The Trump administration had threatened to block this opening for months until Canada agreed to split the toll revenue with the U.S., despite Canada having to fund construction in the first place. Then, just last week, President Trump took his tariffs to a new level, adding new taxes to billions worth of Canadian products.
We are intensifying our negotiations with the United States. In pursuit of a comprehensive agreement that addresses all tariff-related sectors.
In fact, earlier I said American officials had opened this bridge. That's because it had been scheduled to be a joint opening until Canadian officials, furious over these tariffs, opened their own section last Friday. American guests were uninvited.
We felt it's inappropriate to have a big joint celebration when we're working through those challenges. I think we're confident that we're going to work through this. We always do between U.S. and Canada.
That was the background hovering over all this as Trump delivered a speech to Michiganders on the economy. But as he looks forward to the midterms, are voters buying what he's selling? Let's start the day with ABC's Elizabeth Schulze, who covers economics.
