Canada paid for the bridge. Usually if you buy something that can make a profit, if you bought it, you get to keep the profit.

Instead of Canada retaining all the profits, they said they would share the profits after repaying the loans used to build the bridge. That was the agreement between the united states and canada.

Now trump wants to start taking the profits now. At least that's one report of what he wants.

It's amazing what a simple million dollar bribe can do.
