Trump Demands U.S. Control Over Gordie Howe Bridge

President Donald Trump expressed his dissatisfaction to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over Canada's control of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Trump insists on U.S. ownership of at least half of the bridge with shared authority on crossings. Carney reiterated the bridge's ownership between Michigan and Canada.

In a recent conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump made it clear that he finds it 'unacceptable' for Canada to maintain control over the newly constructed Gordie Howe International Bridge. The bridge connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reported that Trump believes the United States should own at least half of the bridge. He insists on shared authority regarding what crosses the structure.

Earlier, Carney had clarified to Trump that the bridge's ownership is a joint venture between the state of Michigan and the Canadian government, emphasizing a bilateral agreement.
