Canada Opens Gordie Howe Bridge to US Amid Tariff Dispute and Missed Ceremony
Canada inaugurated the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, marking a significant infrastructure milestone. The six-lane bridge, opening to traffic Monday, aims to enhance trade and travel between the two countries. The US and Michigan officials did not attend the ceremony amid recent US-imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, which have strained bilateral trade relations. Canadian leaders expressed hope for improved cooperation despite tensions, while US President Trump highlighted revised financial terms benefiting the US side.
