Trump says Canada, U.S. will ‘immediately’ start negotiations over Windsor-Detroit bridge
Trump demands the U.S. own at least half of the Gordie Howe Bridge, threatening to block its opening over trade grievances with Canada.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump demanded immediate negotiations seeking U.S. ownership of at least one half of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and warned he would block its opening until full compensation.
- Approved in 2013 during former President Barack Obama's administration, the Gordie Howe International Bridge links U.S. I-75 to Canada's Highway 401 and includes a pedestrian and cycling path, scheduled to open this year.
- Posting on Truth Social, Trump said, `As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan`, claiming Canada owns both sides with virtually no U.S. content.
- The government of Canada says it funded the entire project and that ownership will be public and shared by Canada and Michigan, while U.S. market revenues are described as astronomical.
- Citing past grievances, Trump referenced an Obama-era waiver and demanded Prime Minister Mark Carney negotiate, accusing Ottawa of taking advantage of America.
