President Trump stated on Friday that it was 'fine' for Canada to exclude the United States from the opening ceremony of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. This exclusion followed the Trump administration's threat to impose a 50 percent tariff on certain Canadian imports. The bridge, connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, is a major infrastructure project. The diplomatic snub highlights ongoing trade tensions between the two countries, with Trump downplaying the exclusion while the tariff threat remains a point of contention.
