President Donald Trump announced a new agreement between the United States and Canada to open the Gordie-Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, on July 27, after a dispute had postponed its launch. Trump had previously threatened to block the crossing unless the U.S. secured an ownership interest, calling the original terms unacceptable. Under the revised arrangement, the two countries agreed on cooperative measures involving toll charges: half the net profits will go to a regional development fund, and the bridge authority must get U.S. approval before raising tolls by 10 percent or more or cutting them below comparable crossings. Canada financed the roughly $6.4 billion CAD construction. Trump’s statement, posted on Truth Social, thanked the Canadian government and described the deal as favorable for both sides. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also celebrated the opening without mentioning Trump.
