Bridge Opening Delayed by Trade Tensions | Dover News
Description
The big Friday opening ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge is off the table after President Trump slapped a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, accusing them of unfair trade practices. Canada’s pulling out of the joint event, though they’ll still hold their own ceremony — and the U.S. may not follow suit. The $4.4 billion bridge, named after hockey legend Gordie Howe and delayed once before, was already politically fraught, with Trump previously demanding half ownership. While officials say the bridge still opens July 27, the looming tariffs — set to hit in 30 days — cast serious doubt on the timeline and could spark a full-blown trade war.
