Trump threatens to block opening of US-Canada bridge
President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge connecting the US and Canada until Washington is "fully compensated for everything" it has given to its northern neighbour.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting the Canadian province of Ontario to the US state of Michigan, would not open until Ottawa "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve", Trump wrote on social media.
According to the project's website, the bridge is being funded by the Canadian government but will be publicly owned by both Canada and Michigan.
It is not clear how Trump could block its opening but he said negotiations would begin immediately, without elaborating.
President Trump threatens to block Gordie Howe Bridge from opening
Lansing — President Donald Trump threatened Monday evening to prevent the new Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor from opening until Canada treats the United States with, what he described as, "fairness and respect."
The Republican president issued the statement about the multibillion-dollar Canadian-financed project, which has been under construction since 2018, on the social media platform Truth Social. The bridge project was once touted by Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder as an "enduring symbol of two nations" partnership.
However, in the new post, Trump complained that Ontario won't allow U.S. alcoholic products on its shelves, that Canada's prime minister, Mark Carney, was attempting to work with China and about Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products.

Trump threatens to block opening of new US-Canada bridge
President Donald Trump threatened Monday to block the opening of a new bridge connecting the US and Canada, again lashing out at his country’s northern neighbor over a range of economic issues as the rift between Washington and Ottawa deepens.
Trump said he would “not allow†the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a 1.5-mile bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, in a post on Truth Social Monday. Major construction on the bridge is complete, and it’s expected to open this year after a period of testing.
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY,†the president wrote.
