Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) today met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Washington as part of a six-member delegation meeting led by Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. In the meeting, Dingell raised issues of national security and trade and thanked Trudeau for his support of the Gordie How International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor and his early work to delay construction of a nuclear waste facility near Lake Huron. Dingell told the Prime Minister that she hoped we would never see nuclear waste in the Great Lakes. 

“Michigan shares a lot with our neighbors to the north – a border, a strong auto industry, an appreciation for good hockey, and a love of the Great Lakes,” said Dingell. “I appreciate Prime Minister Trudeau taking time to discuss the critical issues we must continue to work closely on, including securing our northern border and preserving an open market that will allow our economies to thrive. I also thanked him for his early work to prevent nuclear waste from entering the Great Lakes and his commitment to building the new Gordie Howe International Bridge that will serve to further ties between our two great nations. We are grateful to have Canada as a partner and look forward to working together to advance our shared values and priorities.”
