Gordie Howe Bridge Opens, Trump’s Blockade Effort Falls Short
TL;DR Summary
A $4.5 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor opened to traffic after Canada and the United States reached a last‑minute side deal amid President Trump’s threat to block it. Canada funded the 1.5‑mile span and will share toll revenue with Michigan once its investment is recouped; amid tariff tensions, Canada canceled a joint inauguration, celebrating the milestone among Canadians only, underscoring the bridge’s role in cross‑border trade.
