In a recent development, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $4.6 billion project connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, unless the United States is 'fully compensated.' Trump, in a social media post, demanded that the U.S. should own 'at least half' of the bridge, citing grievances over Canada not using U.S. steel in its construction and claiming that the U.S. has been treated unfairly by Canada for decades (The Frontier Post, CBS Detroit). The bridge, funded entirely by Canada, is set to open in early 2026 and is expected to significantly ease congestion between the two countries (Al Jazeera, The Guardian).
