Opening of Canada-US bridge that Trump threatened to block is delayed over unresolved 'issues'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The opening of a Canadian-U.S. bridge across the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block was delayed on Thursday due to "outstanding issues."

In a statement released before a Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said that "Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues."

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, jointly owned by Canada and Michigan, was expected to open to traffic later this month.
