Opening of Canada-US bridge in Detroit that Trump threatened to ... The opening of a Canadian-U_S_ bridge across the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block has been delayed due to “outstanding issues.” WASHINGTON --The opening ofa Canadian-U.S. bridgeacross the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block has been delayed due to “outstanding issues.” In a statement released Thursday ahead of a Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority says “Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues.” The Gordie Howe International Bridge is jointly owned by Canada and Michigan and was expected to open to traffic later this month. The bridge’s opening had remained in question for months after Trump, a Republican, in February demanded that Canada turn over at least half the ownership of the bridge to the U.S. federal government and agree to other unspecified demands in one of his many salvos over cross-border trade issues. Invitations for the bridge’s opening went out this week following a conversatio…

Canada confirms opening of Gordie Howe Bridge, despite Trump’s threats Trump had threatened to halt the opening of the cross-border bridge, which is jointly owned by Michigan and Canada.

Gordie Howe Bridge Opening Confirmed Canada Ignores Threats >> >> >> POLITICS Canada has confirmed the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge connecting Windsor to Detroit, despite ongoing trade threats from President Trump. The Silicon Review asks: why is Canada investing billions in a crossing to a country that keeps threatening to burn the relationship down? The Gordie Howe Bridge is opening. Canada confirmed it this week. The $6.4 billion crossing will connect Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan. It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America. It will carry thousands of trucks and millions of cars every year. And President Donald Trump is furious. The president has spent months threatening to tear upthe United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He has imposed tariffs on Canadian lumber, dairy, and auto parts. He has called Canada a "national security threat" to justify trade barriers. He has suggested that the United States does not need Canadian oil, Canadian steel, or Canadian anything. Here is the irony. Canada just built a sixty billion dollar economic lifeline to a country whose president keeps trying to strangle the economy it connects to. That is not partnersh…

(AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File) WASHINGTON (AP) — The opening ofa Canadian-U.S. bridgeacross the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block was delayed on Thursday due to unresolved issues. In a statement released before a scheduled Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said that “Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues.” It didn’t elaborate on what those are.

Ontario's record-breaking $6.4B U.S. border bridge is finally set to open Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that the long-awaitedGordie Howe International Bridgewill finally open this week after years of construction and months of behind-the-scenes political drama. The new $6.4 billion border bridge between Detroit and Windsor is reportedly set to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony later this week, with the first cross-border traffic expected to use the bridge next Monday. Standing as the new record-holder for thelongest cable-stayed bridge span in North America, the enormous crossing over the Detroit River will close a longstanding gap in the trucking network between Ontario's Highway 401 and Michigan's I-75. Construction of the bridge kicked off back in 2018, and work has been largely complete since 2025, with a projected spring 2026 opening. However, a debunked February claim from U.S. President Donald Trump, who argued that Canada owed its increasingly hostile neighbour money for the bridge's construction, has placed political pressure on the megaproject, and thrust the spring opening timeline into question. But it seems the project may indeed achieve its promised spri…
