Trump warns Canada bridge will not open without trade talks and concessions

President Donald Trump issued a sharp warning on February 9, 2026, declaring he will not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge—a new, Canadian-funded crossing linking Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario—to open unless Canada immediately enters trade negotiations and makes major concessions. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump accused Canada of treating the U.S. “very unfairly for decades,” demanded that the U.S. own “at least one half” of the asset (despite Canada fully financing the multi-billion-dollar project), and cited grievances including lack of U.S. content like steel, dairy tariffs, restrictions on American liquor sales, and Canada’s ties with China. He insisted negotiations start “immediately” to ensure the U.S. receives “fairness and respect” and full compensation, amid broader tensions over the upcoming USMCA review and his administration’s hardline trade stance. The threat has sparked pushback from Michigan lawmakers concerned about economic impacts on border communities reliant on cross-border trade.
