Trump Threatens to Block Opening of Gordie Howe International Bridge

Former President Donald Trump has issued a series of threats regarding the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which spans the border between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. Trump insists that the bridge will not open unless Canada agrees to trade concessions and compensates the U.S. adequately. These comments come amidst an ongoing controversy and dissatisfaction over trade relations with Canada. Officials from Michigan have pushed back against Trump’s declarations, labeling them as extreme and ungrounded. The future of the bridge remains in question as negotiations and discussions continue.
