President Trump threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge after a Detroit billionaire, owner of a competing bridge, met with the Commerce Secretary. The new bridge, fully funded by Canada, would take away toll revenue from the existing Ambassador Bridge. This action is seen as a flashpoint in the deteriorating US-Canada relationship.
