Gordie Howe Bridge to Open Amid Trump Pressure

Canada says the Gordie Howe International Bridge will open by the end of the week despite threats from U.S. President Trump to block it or demand concessions; Ottawa frames the six-lane link between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan as a symbol of cross-border cooperation that should boost trade and supply chains. The $6.4-billion project, co-owned by Canada and Michigan, has faced opposition from the Moroun family and amid broader US-Canada tensions and USMCA renegotiations, highlighting ongoing frictions even as the bridge nears completion.
