US-Canada bridge threatened by Trump to open this week: Carney
Prime Minister Mark Carney said on June 9 that a new bridge connecting Canada and the United States that President Donald Trump had threatened to block will open this week.
Work on the $4.7-billion Gordie Howe Bridge that links the Canadian province of Ontario with the US state of Michigan started in 2018, and it was due to be operational this year.
But in February, Trump insisted the United States should own "at least half" of the bridge named after the late Canadian-born National Hockey League great Gordie Howe.
Howe, who played much of his career with the Detroit Red Wings, was also hockey royalty in Michigan.
