flag Trump threatens to block the nearly complete $6.4B Gordie Howe Bridge, demanding U.S. ownership and compensation, but no action has been taken.

flag U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a Canada-funded $6.4 billion project connecting Detroit and Windsor, demanding the U.S. receive at least half ownership and compensation, citing lack of U.S. steel use and unfair trade practices. flag The bridge, nearing completion and set to open in early 2026, is expected to ease cross-border traffic and boost trade, particularly in the auto sector. flag Michigan and Canadian officials, including Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Mayor Drew Dilkens, have dismissed the threat as politically motivated and damaging to regional economies, emphasizing the project’s bipartisan support and importance to North American supply chains. flag No official action has been taken to halt the opening.
