Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the Gordie Howe International Bridge, linking Detroit and Windsor, will open by the end of the week, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s earlier threats to block its completion. Carney praised the bridge as a symbol of cooperation between the U.S. and Canada, emphasizing its benefits for cross-border travel and commerce. The project, with a cost of approximately $6.4 billion, has faced opposition from the Moroun family, owners of the nearby Ambassador Bridge.
