Canada opens bridge without US amid trade war

Canada celebrated the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, without US officials after cancelling a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony. The move comes amid deepening trade tensions, including US President Trump's threat of 50% tariffs. The $4.7bn bridge, paid for by Canada, is intended to ease trade, but disputes over toll revenue sharing remain unresolved. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for cooperation but stressed Canada would not back down.
