Canada reopens border bridge without US
A report about the opening of a bridge connecting Canada and the United States, built at a cost exceeding $4.5 billion without prior coordination with the American side. The event took place amid renewed political and commercial tensions between the two countries. The absence of American officials at the inauguration reflects disagreements over revenue sharing from the bridge, which both parties eventually agreed upon after arduous negotiations, dividing the profits equally. The bridge is named "Gordie Howe" in honor of a Canadian hockey player, but it remains a symbol of the tensions that led to multiple postponements of its opening, mainly due to the ongoing tariff crisis that began during Trump's presidency. The Canadian government decided to operate the bridge independently starting Monday, amidst ongoing disagreements, highlighting the strained relations between NATO's two closest allies.
