Gordie Howe International Bridge Opens Amid U.S.-Canada Trade Tensions

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, costing C$6.4 billion, officially opened after years of construction and delays, but Canada celebrated solo due to U.S. tariff threats.
Canada agreed to share toll revenues with the U.S. for 15 years, a move seen as a concession amid ongoing trade tensions with the Trump administration.
The bridge aims to facilitate over C$1 billion worth of goods passing daily between Windsor and Detroit, crucial for U.S.-Canada trade.
