A newly constructed bridge linking the United States and Canada could be blocked from opening, according to reports — and the hold-up appears to be coming straight from the White House.
The Gordie Howe Bridge, which stretches across the most heavily trafficked border crossing between the U.S. and Canada, has become the center of a political standoff. President Donald Trump has reportedly stated that he does not want the bridge to open at this time.
The crossing has been widely regarded as a critical piece of infrastructure for trade and travel between the two neighboring nations. Any delay in its opening could have significant implications for cross-border commerce and transportation.
