Trump Moves to Block Windsor-Detroit Bridge Opening
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance regarding the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. He claims that the United States deserves compensation before the bridge can commence operations.
Negotiations Over the Gordie Howe International Bridge
In a recent social media post, Trump announced that the U.S. would begin negotiations concerning the bridge. This structure is anticipated to open in early 2026 after encountering several delays. Trump emphasized that the U.S. should retain ownership of “at least one half” of this crucial infrastructure.
Claims of Unfair Treatment
Trump reiterated his belief that Canada has treated the United States unfairly for decades. He argues that this unjust treatment necessitates a discussion around ownership and compensation before the bridge opens.
