No cross-border ceremony for Gordie Howe bridge in light of U.S. trade threats: minister
✦AI Summary
Canada has canceled a cross-border ceremony for the Gordie Howe bridge opening due to recent trade threats from the United States. While the celebratory event is off, the government maintains that the bridge will still open as scheduled on July 27.
"In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries," said Jenna Ghassabeh, director of communications with Minister Gregor Robertson's office.
