Trump reacts to Canada canceling bridge celebration
U.S. President Donald Trump commented on Canada's decision to cancel the joint celebration for the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which connects Canada and the United States. He explained that he has no problem with the cancellation since Canada is paying high customs duties to the United States. He also pointed out that the previous agreement to facilitate the bridge has ended, and the new terms give the United States 50% of the profits. The celebration was initially scheduled for July, but Canada decided to cancel it after Washington imposed additional tariffs on Canadian products. Canada announced that the celebrations would proceed privately in Canada on the same date, with the bridge opening to traffic on July 27. The bridge, which spans 2.5 kilometers connecting Ontario and Michigan, has been a point of contention between the two countries due to trade disputes and financial obligations under a previous agreement, with Canada expected to pay half of the bridge's revenues for 15 years.
