Gordie Howe International Bridge
President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a new Canadian-built bridge across the Detroit River. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, expected to open in early 2026, was funded by Canada to ease congestion. Work began in 2018. Trump claims the U.S. would gain nothing from the bridge. The White House and the Canadian Embassy have not commented. Tensions between the U.S. and Canada have been rising, with ongoing trade disputes adding to the strain.
