The Gordie Howe Bridge: A Symbol of Strained Relations Between Canada and the United States The Gordie Howe International Bridge, touted as a symbol of cooperation between Canada and the United States, has become a pawn in the ongoing trade war between the two nations.
The White House's assertion that "longstanding unfair trade practices" are at play has left the bridge's opening timeline uncertain.
Behind the scenes, Canadian officials have been insisting that the bridge's delayed opening is due to testing and commissioning activities, while U. S. officials seem to be playing a game of diplomatic chicken.
