Trump Threatens to Block US–Canada Bridge Over Compensation Dispute. President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a major new bridge linking the United States and Canada, demanding Washington be "fully compensated" for what he claims America has given its northern neighbour.. Posting on social media, Trump said the Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting Michigan and Ontario, would not open unless Canada treats the U.S. with what he called "fairness and respect." He also argued the United States should own at least half of the bridge. The project, spanning the Detroit River, is funded by the Canadian government and set to open in early 2026 after final testing. It carries an estimated price tag of 6.4 billion Canadian dollars. It remains unclear how Trump could legally block the opening, but he said negotiations would begin immediately. The comments revive long-running tensions over trade, tariffs, and cross-border infrastructure between the two allies.
