Prime Minister Carney announces the Gordie Howe International Bridge will open this week despite Trump's earlier threats to block it.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit will open by the end of the week. The bridge, a $6.4-billion project funded by Canada and jointly owned with Michigan, faced uncertainty after President Trump demanded half-ownership for the U.S. federal government in February. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Friday.
