Ottawa Now - Trump threatens to block Gordie Howe Bridge, while Canadian leaders remain hopeful that a resolution is in reach

U.S. President Donald Trump went on another Truth Social tirade against Canada last night, threatening to block the opening of the brand-new Gordie Howe Bridge. Connecting Windsor to Detroit, the third such link between the neighbouring cities, it was first approved by Trump himself during his first tenure as U.S. President, and it was labeled as one of his ‘priority projects’. That was back in 2017. Earlier today, Prime Minister Carney had a phone call with America's President, and feels confident that a mutual understanding will be reached ahead of the bridge's grand-opening event this Spring. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has since echoed Carney’s positivity on the situation. Alex Greco is a Senior Director of Manufacturing and Value Chains at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
