Canada to mark milestone opening of Gordie Howe bridge without U.S.
President Donald Trump further strained tense relations between the two countries. Canada cancelled a planned cross-border ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, saying the milestone opening would now be feted only among Canadians before the bridge opens to traffic on Monday. What normally would have been a celebratory moment between two long-time allies has been overshadowed by fraught trade negotiations and Trump’s threat on Monday to impose more tariffs on Canada, which sends some 70 per cent of its exports to the U.S.
