Canada opens Gordie Howe bridge without US; Trump says that’s ‘fine’

The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a significant infrastructure project connecting Canada and the U.S., took place without American representation after the Trump administration threatened hefty tariffs on Canadian goods. President Trump accepted Canada's decision to exclude the U.S. from the ceremony, calling it "fine." This move underscores the strained relations between the two countries amid ongoing trade disputes and highlights the potential for major infrastructure projects to become pawns in geopolitical and economic conflicts.
