International toll bridge linking Detroit and Windsor
The Gordie Howe International Bridge opening has been delayed as Canada and the United States resolve outstanding issues, with officials indicating a staged opening will occur later this week. Leaders stress cross-border cooperation and ongoing dialogue amid political tensions.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge opens to traffic amid higher-than-expected tensions after President Trump imposes 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.

Cross-border officials have canceled a joint ceremony, signaling a stumble in this long-planned economic milestone.
