Analysis Summary
Canada canceled a planned joint ceremonial opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge (connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario) after Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. A Canadian government spokesperson said proceeding with a celebratory event between the two countries would be inappropriate given the trade conflict. The bridge itself has opened for traffic, but the symbolic joint ribbon-cutting that was scheduled for Friday will not happen.
