The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has its official ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
It’s been nearly 15 years since Canada agreed to fully fund the bridge, bypassing political resistance from the U.S. to get the project done.
At the time, Canada agreed to share toll revenue with the U.S. but only after the bridge was paid off.
But earlier this year, shortly before a planned June ribbon-cutting ceremony, Trump blocked the opening until Canada agreed to “share ownership and authority.”
Meanwhile, Carney said the underlying agreement to recoup toll revenues between Canada and the state of Michigan remains in place.
