Trump signals intent to block Gordie Howe Bridge opening
President Donald Trump said Monday he would seek to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor until the United States is “fully compensated” for what he says it has given Canada. The bridge, financed largely by Canada and managed as a binational project, is intended to expand a key trade corridor in the Detroit‑Windsor region. Trump did not specify the amount or basis of the compensation he is demanding or the legal mechanism he would use to stop the crossing from opening.
