Trump clears path for $4.5B Gordie Howe Bridge linking Windsor and Detroit
TL;DR Summary
Trump dropped his objections to the Gordie Howe International Bridge, clearing a $4.5 billion link between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan that is now set to open on July 27. Canada and the US agreed on toll governance measures and a 15-year economic development fund tied to bridge profits. Officials say the project will boost cross-border trade and regional economic activity for generations, though ties to donors and rival toll routes have colored the broader political backdrop.
