"In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said he would not allow the bridge to open until the US is "fully compensated for everything we have given them," adding that Canada must treat the United States with what he described as "fairness and respect." "We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset," Trump added."
"In recent weeks, Trump has threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Ottawa moves forward with a trade deal with China. He also bristled at comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which were widely seen as an implicit rebuke of Trump's foreign and economic policies. In January, Trump also warned that he could impose a 50% tariff on aircraft manufactured in Canada and revoke certification for newly produced planes."
President Donald Trump threatened to block opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit until the United States is "fully compensated" and receives an ownership stake. He called for immediate negotiations and suggested the US should perhaps own half of the asset. The comments escalate tensions with Canada after recent threats to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Ottawa pursues a trade deal with China. Trump also warned he could impose a 50% tariff on Canadian-made aircraft and revoke certification for newly produced planes. Officials had no immediate comment.
