The delay over the opening of a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor Ontario may soon be over. As Dan Carpenter reports, both President Trump and the Canadian government say the Gordon Howe Bridge will officially open at the end of the month. Trump posted on social media Friday that he was able to get a much better deal and congratulated the Canadian government. Trump had delayed the opening for weeks saying Canada was not treating the U.S. fairly on trade
issues, even though Canada paid the full cost of constructing the bridge. Ottawa officials say the two countries have agreed on a new series of toll measures and the creation of a 15 year economic development fund in which Canada will get half of the bridges toll profits and the other half will go into the fund, although it's not yet clear who will operate that fund?
