Canada has cancelled a joint opening ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge with the United States following tariff threats made by former President Donald Trump. Canada fully funded the construction of the bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. Trump had previously claimed, in February, that at least half of the bridge should be considered American property. This cancellation signals escalating tensions between the two countries regarding trade and infrastructure projects. The move underscores Canada’s unwillingness to proceed with a collaborative event while facing economic pressure from the US. No new date for the opening ceremony has been announced, but Canada intends to proceed with the opening independently. The dispute highlights ongoing concerns about protectionist policies and their impact on international partnerships.
