Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed concerns raised by Donald Trump regarding the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a US$4.7 billion project connecting Ontario, Canada, and Michigan, USA. Trump demanded the U.S. own at least half of the bridge, despite Canada fully financing its construction because the U.S. declined to do so. The bridge, named after Gordie Howe, is scheduled to open this year, with costs to be recouped through tolls over 30 years. Trump threatened to block the bridge's opening, citing Canada's financing, trade practices, and tariffs. Carney assured that the issues raised by Trump would be resolved.
