Trump threatens to block the opening of a bridge between Ontario and Michigan in ongoing spat with Canada

President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a long-awaited new border crossing between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan.

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.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is expected to be completed in early 2026 and has been under construction since 2018. The $6.4 billion project is entirely funded by Canada's Federal government, and will feature six lanes and a pedestrian and cycling path.

The President can’t just block things at random. What authority does he have to block this bridge from opening?
