Donald Trump’s evening Truth Social outburst about a major U.S.–Canada infrastructure project was so riddled with errors that Canada’s prime minister felt compelled to personally walk him through thefacts in a phone call.
The latest flare-up centers on the $4.6 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge, a long-planned crossing that will connect Detroit, Michigan, with Windsor, Ontario. In a rambling post Monday night, Trump, 79, accused Canada of cheating the United States by falsely claiming the bridge was entirely Canadian-owned and complained that it was being built with “virtually no U.S. content.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, 60, moved quickly to clean up the mess. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Carney confirmed that he had spoken with Trump directly to correct the record. He added in French that the “situation will be resolved” and said that the bridge remains on track to open in 2026.
