Mark Carney clarified to Donald Trump that Canada funded the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a key infrastructure project linking Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, after Trump threatened to block its opening. Trump falsely claimed the $4.6 billion bridge, slated to open in early 2026, contained minimal U.S. content. Carney reminded Trump that the U.S. shares ownership of the bridge, emphasizing their prior "positive" conversation. The exchange occurred after Trump ranted against the bridge and warned China would negatively impact Canadian hockey. The bridge is intended to improve trade and transportation between the two countries.
