A planned joint US-Canada ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge was canceled after Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, with Canada set to hold its own event and the US undecided on a separate celebration; officials still expect the bridge to open to traffic on July 27, and Canada plans to celebrate the milestone on July 24, as cross-border trade tensions intensify over ownership, tolls and related demands.
