Trump Bridge Statement Fact Checked

U.S. President Donald Trump warned late on Thursday ‌about striking and destroying bridges and electric power plants in Iran in his latest threat to hit the country's infrastructure.

On Thursday, Trump posted footage on social media showing dust and smoke billowing up as U.S. strikes hit ​the newly constructed B1 bridge ⁠between Tehran and nearby Karaj, which was due to open this year, and said more attacks would follow.

Carney told reporters that he explained to Trump in a call on Tuesday that “in the construction of the bridge obviously there’s Canadian steel, Canadian workers, but also US steel, US workers that were involved.” And Ford told reporters: “Seventy-five percent, yes, were Canadian steel and concrete, because we’re paying for it; 25% was US steel and concrete. Then the interchange going on from the Michigan side, it was all American workers, all American steel, all American concrete. So again, there’s fiction, what President Trump says, and then there’s true facts that people can look up.”
