President Donald Trump on July 24 stated that Canada disinvited the United States from the opening ceremony of the Gordie Howe Bridge, a cross-border infrastructure project. Trump characterized the decision as acceptable given Canada's payment of "substantial TARIFFS" to the U.S., but declared the original deal—described as "terribly negotiated by a previous Administration"—no longer valid.
Trump announced that the terms had been revised, granting the United States 50% of the profit from the bridge. The post did not specify the previous profit-sharing arrangement. The Gordie Howe Bridge, connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, is a major trade corridor project under construction. The White House did not immediately provide additional details on the changed terms.
