President Donald Trump threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, stating he will not allow it to open until the United States is fully compensated and Canada treats the U.S. with fairness and respect.

The $6.4 billion cost of the Gordie Howe bridge has been entirely funded by Canada's federal government, though the bridge is under public joint ownership of Canada and the state of Michigan. Construction began in 2018 and major construction is now complete.

Trump endorsed the bridge as a priority project in 2017, issuing a joint statement with then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling it a vital economic link between the two countries. The bridge is named for hockey legend Gordie Howe, who played 25 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer defended the bridge, stating it was built by unionized construction workers from both sides of the border and that it will open one way or another. Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens called Trump's post insane and said parts of it are factually incorrect.

Senator Elissa Slotkin said Trump's threat to block the bridge is awful for Michigan's economy and would result in higher costs for businesses, less secure supply chains and fewer jobs. She stated Canada is America's friend, not its enemy.

Trump claimed in his post that China would terminate all ice hockey in Canada and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup if Canada pursues closer trade relations with Beijing. He also complained about Ontario banning U.S. spirits from government liquor stores.
