Canada renunță la ceremonia comună cu SUA pentru inaugurarea podului Gordie Howe

Canadian authorities have canceled a joint inauguration ceremony with the U.S. for the Gordie Howe Bridge due to recent trade tensions. The event was set for July 24, just before the bridge's opening on July 27. Canada will hold its own ceremony without U.S. officials. The bridge, a key trade link, has been under construction since 2018, costing approximately $4.4 billion. Tensions have escalated following President Trump's announcement of a 50% tariff on most Canadian imports, which he justified by alleging unfair practices by Canada. Canadian leaders express a willingness to negotiate, while Ontario's Premier calls for retaliatory measures if tariffs are implemented.
