Canada has opened the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a new trade route over the Detroit River connecting Windsor, Ontario, with the U.S. The bridge's opening ceremony was notably attended only by Canadian officials, as U.S. representatives were uninvited following President Donald Trump's announcement of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. Despite this diplomatic tension, the new six-lane bridge, funded entirely by Canada at an estimated cost of $6.4 billion, is expected to significantly improve trade efficiency compared to the existing Ambassador Bridge.
