President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects the US and Canada, until Washington is 'fully compensated' for its investment in the project. The bridge, funded by the Canadian government, is set to open in early 2026, but Trump argues that the US should own at least half of the asset and that Canada is 'taking advantage' of America. This comes as a response to recent trade disputes, including Canada's tariffs on US dairy products. The Ambassador Bridge, owned by the Moroun family, has also been a point of contention, with Trump's previous appeal to stop its construction. The bridge's development authority is Canadian-owned, and Trump's demands have sparked controversy, raising questions about the future of cross-border trade and the balance of power between the two nations.
